University Academic Advising has purchased NACADA’s April webinar “Building a Trauma-Informed Advising Practice for Racially & Ethnically Diverse Students” for the UNL advising community.
Webinar presenters Drs. Shantalea Johns, Locksley Knibbs, Quentin Alexander, and Erica Brown-Meredith describe the content: "Racial trauma represents the emotional, physical, and psychological wounds of racially and ethnically diverse groups who have experienced or witnessed race-based stressors or discrimination (Coping with Racial Trauma, 2020). Race-based traumatic events on or off-campus may cause distress for students and put them at risk for increased levels of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other forms of mental distress. In this webinar, sponsored by NACADA’s Social Justice Advising Community, the presenters will discuss the multifaceted effects of racial trauma on academic coaching, advising, and programming and recommend strategies to incorporate traumatic stress management resources into advising practice."
