UK Trauma Council Insight Series Webinar - Resilience and Recovery: Addressing Intergenerational Trauma
This webinar will explore how trauma passes from one generation to the next and what is needed to support healing in communities affected by systemic harm.
About this webinar
This webinar explores how trauma passes from one generation to the next and what is needed to support healing in communities affected by systemic harm. Drawing on experiences from Northern Ireland and the Windrush community, our speakers will reflect on the lasting impact of state violence and its ripple effects.
Dr. Michael Duffy will focus on the trauma linked to the Troubles. He will speak about how children of those involved in the conflict have been affected, sharing examples including drawings that capture their memories. Michael will explore how trauma is passed on within families and communities and look at the resilience and protective factors that help people recover.
Prof. Rochelle Burgess will discuss racialised intergenerational trauma, with a focus on the Windrush scandal and ongoing systemic racism. She will argue for moving beyond resilience towards social repair, highlighting the role of the state and institutions in addressing these harms. Rochelle will consider what is needed to break cycles of trauma in multigenerational families and how social policy and community action can contribute to lasting healing. Together, they will explore what it means to respond to intergenerational trauma in a way that holds systems accountable and supports families and communities.

Prof Rochelle Burgess
Rochelle Burgess is Associate Professor in Global Health at the Institute for Global Health at UCL. For the past 10 years she has worked on global health issues with an emphasis on community participation and qualitative methodologies. She is interested in the promotion of community approaches to health globally, and views communities as a route to studying the interface between health concerns and broader development issues such as poverty, power, systems of governance, and community mobilisation (civil society).
For more than a decade she has researched community mental health care systems and their capacity to respond to the needs of marginalised groups, including HIV/AIDS affected women living in poverty in South Africa (since 2007), and Black and Minority Ethnic groups in South West London (since 2013). She is currently co-PI of a study exploring the post-conflict mental health needs of internally displaced communities in Colombia with an emphasis on female ex-combatants and the Afro-Caribbean community. She is also developing new projects on the mental health consequences of child marriage in the SADC region, alongside colleagues from the African Union.
