Trauma is Real: Understanding and Interrupting Microaggressions 

When: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 

Time: 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. 

In the first session of this 3-part workshop, participants will examine the trauma individuals experience based on the impact microaggressions have on targeted people based solely upon their marginalized group membership. A list will be provided of marginalized and dominate groups and examples of everyday instances of microaggressions. Additionally, participants will engage in group reflection and processing.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

• Be able to understand how microaggressions impact the mental health of communities
• Recognize and identify a variety of ways to address microaggressions, both as the receiver and the bystander
• Practice a range of practical strategies to use in a variety of contexts

The Wayne State University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit (s) TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
