Generational Trauma and its Impacts (Beyond Cultural Competence Series)

Generational trauma impacts individuals and families through economic, cultural and familial distress. Often, the trauma is not seen as a trauma, and it is just a way of life. What are the lingering effects of generational trauma? How do they show up in the body today? How do historical traumas live in institutions, cultures, and habits of societies?
