SWAGÊÓƵ

School of Social Work faculty Arabella Perez leads this reflective panel discussion and interactive workshop on resiliency using trauma and racially-informed strategies. Students will learn to recognize the natural ways our biology has evolved to respond and adapt to stress and explore the neuropsychology of our response to COVID-19, structural racism, and white privilege. Resulting strategies for fear, loneliness, anxiety, sleeplessness and memory loss can be applied personally, or in the care of others.

This special CECE offering will address the interprofessional competencies of Communication and Teamwork, and can be applied toward students’ IP Honors Distinction Badge.

This collaborative event is part of an ongoing series in partnership with SWAGÊÓƵ’s Planetary Health Council. This is one of a six-part series that will continue through fall 2020, and will bridge the impact of COVID to themes on aging/ isolation, emotional resiliency, social determinants of health, and climate change.
