As psychologists work to decrease the stigma of receiving mental health support, we must also ensure that we are equipped to handle various types of distress. While the psychological impacts of racism continue to be a salient experience for many, racial trauma is often overlooked in trauma informed care. This workshop aims to help attendees deepen their understanding of racial trauma, conceptualize the role they play in a client’s healing journey, and increase their ability to provide support.

Attendees will learn:
(1) Expand current trauma informed conceptualization and practice to include racial trauma; (2) Understand
why racial trauma support is integral to the therapeutic process; and, (3) Incorporate
racial trauma informed support into their work with clients.

What will attendees be able to apply to their practice:
(1) Foundational, conceptual, and practical knowledge related to their role in helping clients navigate racial trauma in therapy.
