Description

 In this powerful session, attendees will be presented with; how the culture of poverty theory suggests that poverty is not just a lack of financial resources but a set of values, beliefs, and behaviors that are often passed down from generation to generation. This culture of community and collective deprivation can significantly increase the likelihood of psychological trauma. Individuals who experience poverty often face chronic stress, social isolation, and limited access to resources, which can lead to substance use as a coping mechanism. Research indicates that the stressors associated with poverty, such as unemployment, unstable housing, and exposure to violence, are some factors that contribute to higher rates of substance abuse. Individuals who have significant economic challenges are often unable to access the support they need, leading to a lower likelihood of successful recovery. Addressing the intersection of poverty and addiction requires comprehensive strategies that go beyond traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). By understanding the cultural context of poverty and its link to trauma/addiction, advocates and practitioners can develop more effective programs to support individuals in their journey toward recovery and improved well-being.

  • Explain how the stigma and shame associated with generational poverty affect individuals' self-esteem, emotional regulation skills and mental well-being.
