Join us for an experiential workshop with breakout rooms.
This training will aim to develop therapists’ ability to effectively support a client from a different racial background than them, especially focusing on Black, Indigenous and People of Color. It will integrate research and clinical experience to teach a therapeutic model for rapport building, assessment and treatment. Through psycho-education, self reflection and experiential exercises, participants will learn how to embody and implement anti-racist values in and outside the therapy room.
On completion of this training, participants will be able to:
1) Describe definitions of race, racism and anti-racism that are associated with being a therapist that embodies anti-racist values.
2) Employ the clinical skills pertaining to developing a rapport, completing an assessment and treatment planning that are unique to the needs of treating African American/Black clients.
3) Describe how social and cultural identities, specifically race, affect the therapeutic relationship and process.
4) Compose culturally sensitive questions, in support of developing culturally responsive treatment plans.
5) Define cultural humility and its relationship to dismantling the power dynamic that exists between therapist and client.
6) Implement anti-racist values outside of the therapy room, into their professional and personal life.
Intended Audience:
This training is appropriate for mental health providers at all skills levels who are interested in learning how to be a more culturally responsive therapist and embody anti-racist values in their personal and professional lives. While this training may be more meaningful for therapists who have a contextual understanding of systemic racism, all therapists will gain value from attending.
Format of The Training: Didactic presentation and experiential clinical skills practice.
