University of Orange March 2025 “Managing Shock and Awe: Lessons from Root Shock and Collective Recovery”

Online class discussing ways to manage shock and awe planned by the University of Orange starting Mar. 5. The four-week session meets from 6-7 p.m. and will be led by Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a social psychiatrist from Orange who co-founded University of Orange. Group conversation will focus on “root shock,” a traumatic stress reaction to the loss of emotional ecosystems, with an emphasis on recent actions taken by the Trump administration, and how to move forward. Participants will learn ways to stay centered, gathering with others, and building coalitions. There will be presentations, readings, daily journaling, and other interactive exercises. Registration is required.
