ONLINE: From Scarcity to Access: Cultural Implications of Poverty Trauma

Thursday, February 13, 2025 ​
11:00AM – 1:00PM PT / 1:00PM – 3:00PM CT
Online via Zoom
Hosted by Minnesota Council of Nonprofits

Poverty trauma influences cultural values, behaviors, and identity formation, often perpetuating cycles of exclusion and disadvantage. In urban, suburban, and rural communities, geographic isolation, limited access to transportation, healthcare, education, healthy food, and jobs – as well as the stigma associated with poverty – can create generational trauma and distrust of social institutions. This session will explore the effects of poverty and poverty trauma on the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of children and adults in our schools, neighborhoods, workplaces, and social settings. By exploring concepts such as scarcity mindset, survival-based decision-making, and the intersectionality of poverty with other marginalized identities, this interactive workshop will provide attendees with practical tools for fostering inclusivity and support for those with lived experiences of poverty trauma – in our workplaces, schools, and community settings.
