Join acclaimed scholar and educator Anton Treuer for a transformative training event, "Healing from Historical Trauma: Culture, Connection, and Community." In this session, Dr. Treuer will delve into the complex realities of historical and contemporary trauma, offering an insightful exploration of how these experiences continue to shape individuals and communities today.

Rather than simply revisiting past injustices, Dr. Treuer will unpack the latest research on the ways intergenerational trauma manifests in modern life, with a particular focus on how trauma acts as a driver for substance abuse and ADHD. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the connections between trauma and behavioral health challenges, learning how these issues are rooted in broader historical and social contexts2.

Central to the training is the powerful role of tribal culture in fostering connection and healing. Dr. Treuer will highlight how language and cultural revitalization efforts can break cycles of despair, promote resilience, and support both individual and collective recovery. Through stories, research, and practical strategies, attendees will discover how Indigenous knowledge and community practices can generate belonging, restore identity, and create pathways toward wellness.

This event is ideal for educators, health professionals, community leaders, and anyone interested in trauma-informed approaches and Indigenous perspectives on healing. Prepare to be inspired and equipped with tools for fostering culture, connection, and community as foundations for true healing.

This is private training for social services staff at Alameda, CA.
