Healing and TRANSFORMing Racial Stress and Trauma Among Youth of Color

Research indicates that discrimination and race-related stress are significant and impactful factors in accounting for racial disparities in health and education across the life course. Experiencing race-related stress can lead to negative consequences for youth of color, particularly during the development period of adolescence. Understanding the unique roles of discrimination and historical legacies of oppression in the experience of trauma as well as identifying factors that promote resistance and well-being among youth is critical. The presentation will provide an overview of racial stress and trauma and its consequences for youth of color, with a focus on African Americans within the United States. The presentation will also highlight tools to foster empowerment and healing, including lessons learned from the group-based intervention TRANSFORM.
