Description
Inter-generational trauma (also known as transgenerational trauma), is what happens when untreated trauma-related stress experienced by survivors is passed on to second and subsequent generations. The effects are not only psychological, but familial, social, cultural, and emotional. Our panelists are: -Marvin Westwood (Counselling Psychology) who will speak on the intergenerational effects of war-related traumas on the descendants of veterans; -Richard Vedan (School of Social Work) who will speak to the traumatic legacy of Indian Residential Schools; -Judy Hall (Pediatrics) an epigeneticist who will focus on the ways in which chemical marks left on people’s genes by trauma can be passed down to future generations. -Our moderator is Brian O’Neill from the School of Social Work.
