DESCRIPTION

For centuries, the caregiver-child relationship has been disproportionately impacted by the weight of collective traumatization and systemic oppression. Today, the surveillance, criminalization, and dehumanization of caregivers and children continues through parent-child separations among Black and Indigenous families from immigrant communities. For caregiver-child dyads with histories of immigration trauma, core fears are exacerbated or confirmed by xenophobic, oppressive, and violent sociopolitical conditions perpetuated against Black and Indigenous families.

 

Providers on the front lines of these struggles experience higher rates of moral injury, burnout, and collective traumatization. Given these heightened risk factors and alarming realities, there is an even greater need for providers and community members to understand the impact of collective trauma on the parent-child relationship in order to create conditions for relational and collective healing.

 

This presentation will invite participants to reflect on the role of the early childhood workforce in buffering legacies of harm and building resilience through the power of relationships. Together, we will explore the Seeds of Hope model for combating the impact of collective traumatization through the power of relationships.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

 

+Enhance capacity to reflect upon manifestations of collective trauma and immigration trauma on the parent-child relationship

+Identify at least 2 manifestations of collective trauma in the parent-child relationship

 

+Identify at least 2 strategies for planting “seeds of solidarity” within the parent-child relationship to buffer the impact of collective trauma
