More Than a Notion: A Discussion on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome

Until Justice Just Is (previously known as Stand Against Racism) is an annual series of events held at YWCAs across the country that raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities and build community among those who work for racial justice while providing opportunities to educate.

This year, YWCA will focus on mental health and racial trauma by discussing Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (P.T.S.S.), a theory developed by Dr. Joy DeGruy. Join them for their first in-person discussion since COVID, as they unpack P.T.S.S.’s definition along with the impact of multi-generational oppression on those of African descent.

This panel discussion will take place on April 5th, 6PM at Allegra Westbrook Public Library. Register HERE for this important conversation!
