This installment titled, “Community Violence and Trauma,” is presented by Jimmie Heags, Jr. (LSC, LPCC, LADC, ACS), and will explore how both acute and chronic trauma impacts not only our daily lives, but affects the ways in which we build and maintain relationships with individuals and institutions in our communities.

About Community Action’s Social & Emotional Well-Being Webinar Series

Community Action’s four-part Social & Emotional Well-Being Webinar Series features experts in the mental health industry, who will provide vital health/wellness tools and strategies to the communities we serve. While trauma and stress affect those living low-income lives most, if not all of the time, adequately addressing these daily anxieties is of particular importance at this time in history as the coronavirus pandemic and America’s deep-seated social, political, and economic crises continue to disparately affect low-income and BIPOC communities.
