The year 2020 was a challenging and traumatic year for Americans, especially Black Americans. Many Black people quickly succumbed to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This paper describes systemic trauma as a lens to conceptualize the effects of COVID-19, racial stress and trauma, and grief. A recount of the events during the year 2020 is reviewed. Racism towards Black people was at an all-time high. Complicated and collective grief was ever-present. As a by-product of COVID-19, economic and health disparities resurfaced to further complicate Black people's well-being. Systemic trauma is described as a comprehensive and inclusive framework that captures the intensity and depth of the trauma Black Americans experienced. We argue that culturally appropriate interventions are needed to help Black people continue to heal from the distress of 2020. Race-informed trauma treatment is a culturally appropriate intervention that facilitates healing, improves the quality of life, and fosters posttraumatic growth for Black Americans. We offer race-informed treatment as a theoretical orientation that can facilitate healing and posttraumatic growth for Black people.

解析 2020 年的压力：美国黑人应对系统性创伤

2020年对于美国人，尤其是美国黑人来说，是充满挑战和痛苦的一年。许多黑人很快死于 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）。本文将系统性创伤描述为一个镜头，以概念化 COVID-19、种族压力和创伤以及悲伤的影响。回顾 2020 年发生的事件。针对黑人的种族主义空前严重。复杂而集体的悲伤始终存在。作为 COVID-19 的副产品，经济和健康差距重新浮出水面，使黑人的福祉进一步复杂化。系统性创伤被描述为一个全面且包容的框架，捕捉了美国黑人所经历的创伤的强度和深度。我们认为，需要采取文化上适当的干预措施来帮助黑人继续从 2020 年的痛苦中恢复过来。基于种族的创伤治疗是一种文化上适当的干预措施，可以促进美国黑人的康复、提高生活质量并促进创伤后成长。我们提供基于种族的治疗作为理论方向，可以促进黑人的康复和创伤后成长。
