Reacting to Racism:
from Automated to Empowered

If you're experiencing:

👉🏽 Hyper-vigilance and risk aversion that blocks you from self-advocacy and trying new things;

👉🏽 People-pleasing and conflict avoidance to the point where you’re burnt out or repressed;

👉🏽 Anger and defensiveness that keeps others at bay, leaving you isolated and without support;

you’re not being too “sensitive”, “aggressive”, or “weak”. You’re having perfectly normal and automated (i.e. uncontrolled) responses to danger: the danger of systemic racism.

In this free live webinar honouring the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Lana Jelenjev and Rosie Yeung share knowledge and resources to support racialized (BIPOC) folks in:

​

• Recognizing our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) responses to racism

• Understanding our learned behaviours and coping strategies for racism

• Developing tools and resources to reduce our pain and expand our options in the face of racism

The goal of this webinar is to equip racialized (BIPOC) people with trauma-informed insights to shift from auto-reply to intentional choice when triggered or assaulted, physically or emotionally.
