Candice Valenzuela, whose 2022 podcast was among the most popular episodes of the last year, joins hosts Ingrid Cockhren, PACEs Connection CEO, and Mathew Portell, this Thursday at 1 p.m. PDT; 4 p.m. ET, to discuss the importance of healing intergenerational trauma.
“How can parents ensure that generational issues do not continue to impact future generations?” is one of the questions to be addressed in this live episode.
“This topic is especially important for parents who have a background of historical trauma, including slavery, and genocide,” said Cockhren.
Valenzuela’s last episode focused on self-care and minority mental health, and addressed how, according to Cockhren, “Self-care has become a buzzword when discussing solutions to the mental health crisis in BIPOC communities.”
Valenzuela, who describes herself as a “parent, a pet owner, a friend, a survivor, a geek, and a nature lover,” says, “I have learned that no professional titles will ever reflect all of who I am or my worth. I strive to be human before I strive to be a worker. I identify as Black, Indigenous, Queer and working-class allied.
“Professionally, I have been working at the crossroads of education, justice and community healing for 16 years. I have extensive experience in mindfulness, trauma informed care, anti-oppressive practices, cultural competency, liberatory education and youth empowerment,” she adds.
