Systemic Bias and Racism Speaker Series: Impacts of Racial Trauma on Health (Part 2)

In part 1 of the “Impacts of Racial Trauma on Health” we engaged in conversations about how racial trauma impacts the mental and physical health of Black Canadians. In part 2, we will engage in activities that offer a space to constructively analyze health services and programs, and make suggestions for how these services and programs could better serve Black individuals. Participants will be offered a space to collectively dream and plan for more equitable health-care services.
