Image Text by @ndn.power: Trauma Subtypes Cultural trauma is an attack on the fabric of a society, affecting the essence of the community and its members Historical trauma is the cumulative exposure of traumatic events that affect an individual and continues to affect subsequent generations Intergenerational trauma occurs when trauma is not resolved, subsequently internalized, and passed from one generation to the next Present trauma is what vulnerability Today's youth are experiencing on a daily basis End of Image Text. Caption by @ndn.power (Part 1 of 2): Many years after the last residential school closed its doors and most of the First Nations children taken from their homes through child welfare removal were returned, these events continue to have an impact on individuals, families and communities. Intergenerational trauma, or transgenerational trauma, is what happens when untreated trauma-related stress experienced by survivors is passed on to second and subsequent generations. The trauma inflicted by residential schools and the Sixties Scoop was significant, and the scope of the damage these events wrought wouldn't be truly understood until years later. Intergenerational trauma is usually seen within one family in which the parents or grandparents were traumatized, and each generation of that family continues to experience trauma in some form. In these cases the source can usually be traced back to a devastating event, and the trauma is unique to that family. End of Caption, Part 1.
