Healing from Racial Trauma Workshop

Racial trauma isn’t always visible. Its impact is.

What happens when an experience lingers not just in memory, but in your body? When everyday moments shift how safe you feel in a space?

The Healing from Racial Trauma workshop is designed by Jennisha Wilson and Mifrah Abid, from the Office of EDI-R, to support that process. Open to racialized students, staff, and faculty, this session offers a supportive space to better understand how racial stress manifests and to learn practical strategies for grounding, self-awareness, and care. No personal sharing is required.
