The Impact of Racial Trauma.

As you might suspect, based on how seriously and intensely racial trauma can manifest, racial trauma's impacts are far-reaching. Racial trauma leads to lower self-esteem and self-worth.

The trauma of witnessing police brutality leads people of color, particularly Black people, to fear police, which can in turn be dangerous if they find themselves in situations where they need to rely on police assistance. Racial trauma can cause severe emotional problems, such as dissociative symptoms.

Overall, racial trauma can impact every facet of life, reducing one's quality of living significantly.
