When Opposing Viewpoints Become Oppositional –Vicarious Trauma, Social Justice, and Tough Conversations With Loved Ones Who Disagree
Show Notes

 Throughout COVID-19, we saw almost constant reporting on news outlets about ways in which people from diverse communities experienced oppression, marginalization, and violence. What we did not learn from the news reporting is how to talk about it, how to process the experience of vicarious trauma, and how to navigate conversations with those who hold different views. Join Masha Arius, Assistant IDD Clinical Director, and Rachael Rivera, Children & Family Services Director as they explore how you can engage in these difficult conversations while protecting your own mental health.
