How is COVID-19 affecting our vulnerable populations? |
What can we do to ensure their needs are being met? |
As of April 15th, 2020, The Centre for Research & Innovation for Black Survivors of Homicide Victims (The CRIB) has been hosting the 30@8:30 weekly series of Instagram Live talks that aim to investigate COVID-19’s impact on vulnerable populations throughout the global community.
Each week, Founder & Director Dr. Tanya L. Sharpe has engaged leading scholars, community leaders, and social work professionals in a 30-minute dialogue that explores how the current global pandemic is affecting vulnerable populations — and how we can ensure we are responding to their needs. The series explores topics including the relationship between COVID-19 and structural violence, traumatic stress and grief, gun violence and victimization during the outbreak, the impact on the incarcerated, and the erasure of our healthcare system.
Six dialogues will take place on Instagram Live, with the seventh and final episode bringing together all featured guests for an interactive Zoom Q&A as we discuss the collective impact of and response to COVID-19, and possible solutions to challenges faced by the global community.
