Description

This workshop will explore the inter-generational wounds of racial trauma, white body supremacy, and interlocking systems of oppression that shape our society and mental health field.  It will explore themes from Dr. Edmond's book Mindful Race Talk; to build mindfulness and somatic resources to address the polarizing topic of race and racism with more agility and fluency in order to meet clients and colleagues where they are in their racial identity development and antiracism journey.  Emphasis will be placed on cultural humility, making repairs when harm has happened, and approaching conversations about power and proximity to whiteness with compassion and embodiment from a trauma-informed perspective.

Co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Psychological Association and the Vermont Psychological Association.
