Historical and Community Trauma: Connections to Current Outcomes and Inheriting Resilience

This pre-recorded training discusses the background of historical and community trauma, as well as how they can impact health outcomes just as strongly as individual experiences can. It also shows how these traumas have become integrated into the systems that direct much of our lives — education, housing, healthcare, and the criminal-legal system — and are perpetuated through implicit biases and explicit prejudices.

In 2019, more than half of physicians reported experiencing burnout, and data suggest that other care provider professionals, such as educators, experience similarly high levels. The costs of burnout to care professional wellbeing are much too great to ignore, and there are emerging promising practices to review and consider for implementation. With the COVID-19 pandemic increasing the burden on educators and care providers, it has become imperative for organizations and individuals alike to implement preventative and responsive methods.

This session will include an overview of the history and current definitions surrounding provider and educator burnout, as well as an introduction to multi-level strategies for prevention and intervention.
