Imposter Syndrome

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workshop

Presenter: Amanda Serrano, MSW, LCSW, Founder of Sunrise-Amanecer Inc.

This session will address the ways first-gen to go to college students feel being the first in their family systems to take this path. We will discuss internal barriers relating to not being good enough, not having enough representation, or mentorship that is relevant to them. We will also discuss what it means to be the trailblazer and the pressures related to carving your own path.. We will also dive into the family dynamics of well-intended family members placing pressure on the student and ways to manage expectations. We will also touch on trauma and making decisions out of sacrifice or to bring up the family, rather than for yourself. There will be some discussion of the fight, flight, or freeze response and what happens in high stress and low-stress.
