Description
This workshop provides a follow-up to our May 2021 "Black Minds Matter" workshop; however, it will not presume knowledge from the 2021 presentation and attendance at that presentation is not a mandatory prerequisite. All are welcome to attend.
The prior presentation covered relevant ethics, history, definitions of race and racism, racial identity development models, mental health disparities, and thoughts about modifying the mental health care system. In this training, we will go further into clinical applications of these topics. Specifically, we will address: (1) multiracial and intersectional identities in both clients and therapists and their implications for forming and maintaining therapeutic alliance; (2) how, when, and why to address demographic differences between therapists and clients; (3) how to address racial bias and hate crimes; and (4) how to diagnose and treat trauma in Black (and other culturally marginalized) clients.
