Identifying impacts of racial trauma requires a life-co urse approach that captures the complex nature of individual\, collective\ , historical\, and intergenerational experiences of racism experienced by Black\, Indigenous\, and People of color (BIPOC) communities in Western so cieties. Studies conducted over the past several decades have shown that r acial trauma\, and race-related stress have significant impacts on both th e mental and physical health of racialized people (anxiety disorders\, pos t-traumatic stress disorder\, depression\, psychological distress\, sleep disturbances\, alcohol and substance use\, cardiovascular disease\, cortis ol dysregulation\, high body mass index\, obesity\, hypertension\, and nig httime ambulatory blood pressure\, etc.). Complex racial trauma is also as sociated with a higher rate of early mortality in racialized individuals. In this presentation\, Dr. Cénat will first present the latest data collec ted on the prevalence of different forms of racial discrimination in diffe rent settings and services in Canada (e.g.\, health\, education\, hiring a nd workplace\, racial profiling\, and police violence). He will then expla in the mechanisms associated with complex racial trauma and how it impacts the physical and mental health of racialized communities in Canada. Final ly\, Dr. Cénat will present elements of the 'How to provide Anti-racist Me ntal Health Care' and the 'Becoming Anti-racist' trainings as educational tools to better prevent racial discrimination\, institutional and cultural racism\, by engaging healthcare providers to not be content with simply n ot being racist\, but to develop an anti-racist attitude.\n\nThis event is part of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Educational and Counselling Psychology Distinguished S peaker Series.\n\nPLEASE NOTE THAT SPACE IS LIMITED.\n\n \n\nGuest Speaker Bio\n\nJude Mary Cénat\, Ph.D.\, M.Sc.\, C.Psych.\, is an Associate Profe ssor in the School of Psychology\, the Director of the Interdisciplinary C entre for Black Health and of the Vulnerability\, Trauma\, Resilience & Cu lture Research Laboratory (V-TRaC Lab) at the University of Ottawa.
