Black women and girls face disproportionate exposure to trauma rooted in the intersecting systems of racism, sexism, and economic inequity. Traditional models of trauma-informed care often fail to address the cultural, historical, and gendered realities shaping their experiences. This training bridges that gap by integrating culturally responsive, anti-racist, and feminist frameworks to enhance providers’ understanding and delivery of trauma-informed care. The session is designed to deepen clinicians’ awareness of the social determinants of trauma and equip them with actionable strategies to promote healing, empowerment, and equity in practice.
Learning Objectives By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Identify historical and systemic factors that contribute to trauma among Black women and girls.
2. Describe how trauma manifests physiologically, psychologically, and relationally within this population.
3. Apply principles of trauma-informed care through a culturally responsive and intersectional lens.
4. Implement clinical and community-based strategies that promote safety, empowerment, and healing for Black women and girls.
