People celebrate holidays differently. It is important to discuss cultural values and special days to offer insight on past trauma. Children may feel safer talking about holidays compared to talking about race and culture. We need to have mindful discussions about holidays to enhance communication and bonding. This training aims to increase awareness of biases and reduce the risk for accidental microaggressions. We hope to identify healthy strategies for exploring differences.
