Health Impacts of Intergenerational Trauma

Health Impacts of Intergenerational Trauma

Traumatic experiences have lasting consequences on physical and emotional health. Whether the negative experiences happened during childhood, as an adult, or were single or repeat experiences, traumatic events can cause anxiety, depression, and hypertension, potentially leading to heart attack or stroke, among other physical and emotional health issues. What are the impacts of historically anchored traumatic events over the course of several generations? Join us for a conversation on how historical and intergenerational trauma impacts Indigenous communities, and how Native strengths, culture, and resilience prevail in the face of injustice.
