Video Summary

The webinar, led by Dr. Patty Van Eyze from Nashville, Tennessee, focused on the holistic approach to tackling generational trauma and systemic oppression through trauma-informed care methodologies. Michael Perozzi, from the Task Training Institute, introduced the training session, highlighting its potential to provide critical insights and practical tools for working with marginalized populations, particularly those who are incarcerated or have a history of childhood trauma.<br /><br />Dr. Van Eyze began by discussing the impact of various stress levels on development, emphasizing the profound effects of toxic stress stemming from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). These experiences can disrupt neurodevelopment and lead to long-term health, mental health, and social challenges. The session included discussions on the multi-generational transmission of trauma and its potential impact on communities, as exemplified by higher rates of certain health issues in African-American populations.<br /><br />A central theme was the impact of trauma stored in the body, particularly racialized and historical trauma, as discussed in Resmaa Menakem's "My Grandmother’s Hands." Dr. Van Eyze introduced techniques to help individuals process and metabolize trauma through body-centered practices.<br /><br />Moreover, the session explored complex developmental trauma, focusing on attachment disruptions and dysregulation in children, particularly those in foster care. The potential protective factors against these adverse outcomes, such as supportive relationships and resilience-building efforts, were emphasized.<br /><br />The webinar concluded with a commitment to applying these comprehensive strategies to support clients better, encouraging attendees to engage deeply with this knowledge for both personal growth and professional application.
