From Cultural Considerations to Socially Just Practice: Disrupting Patterns of Suffocated Grief
Presented by Tashel Bordere, Ph.D., CT
Friday October 7th, 2022 8:30 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.

​About the Program (Description): This conference will address patterns of loss, disenfranchisement, and suffocated grief of marginalized youth and families and ways in which grief has been further complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic and on-going systemic inequities. Social media and national movements have been pivotal in bringing widespread attention to the trauma and loss experiences of youth populations, families, and communities representing marginalized identities and backgrounds (e.g., Black female, LGBTQZ, single parent household, intellectual disability). This presentation is designed to contextualize the multidimensional components that characterize loss and grief for youth and families from marginalized backgrounds. Research, theory, and recent events will be integrated as we examine loss and coping, systemic impediments to coping, and some practices that are essential to diversity, equity, and inclusion in service provision and support. We will examine socially just practices that contribute to effective outreach, cross-cultural communication, and grief enfranchisement of bereaved youth.
