The New “Silent Killer”: Racial Trauma in the Workplace and Impact on Mental Health & Emotional Well-being: Using historical and current events, Charmain Jackman, Ph.D., will present how racial trauma and the silence that surrounds it manifests in organizational policies and impacts workplace dynamics. She will discuss how systemic barriers contribute to cultural and workforce generational differences in accessing and utilizing mental health benefits, as well as how the emotional tax of racial trauma leads to poorer career, financial, social, and mental health outcomes for employees of color. This interactive keynote will provide tools to help attendees increase their understanding of racial stress and trauma, practice mindfulness strategies for releasing toxic emotions, and identify ways that allies can advocate for emotionally healthy workspaces.

Sign up for a 15-minute Reiki session with certified Reiki master, Catherine Flayhan. You will experience healing in your whole-body by the gentle placement of the practitioner’s hands above or lightly on the receiver's body. Reiki is a healing practice that helps to bring your energetic body into alignment. Humans have two body forms. One is our physical body supported by our spine, bones, organs. We also have an energetic body with a central column that runs along our spine called a Sushumna. This is where the seven main Chakras live as well as the Nadis, which are channels that bring energy out to the rest of our body. Both can become out of alignment. When your energetic body is unaligned you visit a Reiki Practitioner. Sponsored by Center for Well-Being.
