Conference Topic:
Trauma Impact on faculty, students, individuals, communities, institutions
Description:
While ACEs studies show that traumatic experiences occur widely in our society, the pandemic caused its own trauma across society more pervasively. This presentation considers how COVID-19 might have impacted us socially -- and personally -- than we realized. Certainly, it has impacted our students as well. We explore the scholarship around pandemic-related trauma and consider what we can do to manage its consequences for others and for ourselves.
