NACADA: Building a Trauma-Informed Advising Practice for Racially & Ethnically Diverse Students

Join the Advisor Training and Development team for a viewing of the NACADA Webinar: Building a Trauma-Informed Advising Practice for Racially & Ethnically Diverse Students (DW109). A follow-up discussion will immediately follow the completion of the webinar.

This is an in-person viewing/discussion held on the Main Campus, Trevor Colbourn Hall 351.

Webinar Description:

Racial trauma represents the emotional, physical, and psychological wounds of racially and ethnically diverse groups who have experienced or witnessed race-based stressors or discrimination (Coping with Racial Trauma, 2020). Race-based traumatic events on or off-campus may cause distress for students and put them at risk for increased levels of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other forms of mental distress. In this webinar, sponsored by NACADA’s Social Justice Advising Community, the presenters will discuss the multifaceted effects of racial trauma on academic coaching, advising, and programming and recommend strategies to incorporate traumatic stress management resources into advising practice.

Presenters:

• Shantalea Johns, Director of Continuing Education and Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, Wayne State University
• Locksley Knibbs, Lead Academic Advisor for Team Natural Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences, Florida Gulf Coast University
• Quentin Alexander, Senior Director of Advising for Undergraduate Education, George Mason University
• Erica Brown-Meredith, Program Coordinator for the Collaborating with Lancers for Academic Success Program (CLASP) and Assistant Professor for the Baccalaureate of Social Work Program, Longwood University

This is a paid webinar for UCF employees managed by the Advisor Training and Development Team.
