Family trauma can have a lasting impact, so ensuring the cycle stops is important.
Dr. Mariel Buqué addresses her work to help reduce the recurrence of Intergenerational Adverse Childhood Experiences within communities of color in a question-and-answer session and book signing at Chesapeake College in Wye Mills at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 29.
A first-generation Black Dominican psychologist, Buqué’s work has focused on culturally responsive, trauma-informed care and her book, “Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma,” offers practical tools for healing.
Buqué comes thanks to For All Seasons, which provides mental health and victim services to children, adults and families across the Eastern Shore.
The organization’s president and CEO, Beth Anne Dorman, notes in a news release that Buqué’s session will offer people a new way to look at trauma, “whether it’s healing from their own families’ history of trauma that has been passed down or that of those they work with or support professionally.”
