Do You See My Trauma? The Lived Realities of Minority Ethnic People’ was commissioned by ACE Hub Wales to support the commitment made in the Criminal Justice Anti-Racist Action Plan for Wales to developing tools and resources to support organisations and people in Wales to be inclusive of racial trauma in implementing the Trauma and ACE-informed organisational toolkit. This powerful report documents daily reality for minority ethnic people in Wales of traumatic experiences in public spaces, education, accessing services and going about their day to day lives that cause harm and distress. It will directly inform work to meet the commitments of an anti-racist Wales by 2030, and to Wales becoming a trauma-informed nation that is inclusive of the experience of people in all of our communities. We are hugely grateful to Selima Bahadur, Dr Shela Khan and everyone at Ethnic Minorities and Youth Support Team (EYST) Wales who have helped to deliver this vital work, and we hope that it brings real action to prevent racial trauma and ensure appropriate support for those who do experience it that meets their needs.
