COVID-19 and racial inequities are unfortunate realities of our time that can lead to student trauma. This REL Southwest webinar, “Addressing Collective Trauma and Supporting the Well-Being of Students and School Staff Webinar, Working through Cultural Trauma” was recorded on January 21, 2021. The webinar archive includes five videos: (1) an introduction to the webinar by Lacy Wood, (2) an overview of collective and cultural trauma, with recent examples, by Drs. Wehmah Jones and Tammie Causey-Konaté, (3) an explanation of a four-step model for addressing cultural trauma with Drs.

In Video 2, Drs. Wehmah Jones and Tammie Causey-Konaté define cultural and collective trauma, discuss how COVID-19 has challenged beliefs and may be a trigger for trauma, and provide examples of collective trauma in U.S. education.
