This conversation seeks to give a glimpse into the
African-American community from the concept of "It Takes a
Village", to explore some of the meaningful community
rituals that have been dismantled by the pandemic. We will
explore some of the cultural and generational values as they
relate to the church, elder care, and social interactions on the
personal and community level. This community dialogue will be an
open discussion - we are looking at ways to maintain hope in the
New Year. |
|
Objectives: 1. To define
the origin of the village concept from an African-American
historical perspective and its relevance to cultural and
generational values 2. To look at
the losses of meaningful, community rituals that have been
impacted most by COVID-19 3. To
consider ways to nurture our community during the pandemic that
encourages healing and restoration |

Mental health researchers are already stating that
there is a developing collective trauma associated with the COVID‐19
pandemic. While we are all experiencing this globally,
collective trauma is building up disproportionately within
certain subgroups of people exposed more directly to the impact
of the pandemic - such as healthcare and mental health
professionals. Anticipating the needs of these workers is
vital, not only for their personal well‐being, but to assure that
these valuable employees will recover, be healthy , and continue
serving others — including those also impacted by the
pandemic. We will identify early symptoms of the trauma,
make a distinction between burnout and depression, and offer a
healthy discussion and tools for managers to avoid common traps,
such as toxic positivity and unattainable balance. |
|
Objectives: 1. Define
burnout and individual/collective trauma, and evaluate its impact
on the workplace 2. Describe
the causes of burnout and individual/collective trauma 3. Identify
the differences between burnout, stress, and mental illnesses 4. Discuss
organizational strategies to address burnout and the traumatic
aftermath of the COVID-19 experience at a personal and community
level |
