Talking to Children about Racism, Racial Injustice and Protests

By the Strengthening Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (SIDE) Committee

The recent events related to the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have given rise to important questions about how to talk to children about issues of diversity and fair treatment in our communities. Racial trauma has the potential to affect the physical and emotional health of children (and adults) of all races.

In this important and difficult moment in our history, caregivers and educators grapple with how best to support and educate children of all races as they try to make sense of the current events. Parents may be wondering how you can begin to address racism with your child. As adults, we are all responsible for teaching the younger generation.

A Virtual Art Show from the Patients at Bradley Hospital

Kids from all over Bradley Hospital (on campus and remote) have turned to art during the past few months to process their experiences, express themselves, and find refuge.

Show is available from August 1 through August 31, 2020.
