Challenges to Assessing and Treating Racial Trauma and How to Overcome Them Ethically, Practically, and Bravely
In this engaging webinar, the presenters offer an overview on how to assess and treat racial trauma in people of color. We focus on (1) recognizing complexities in the social environment that make this work challenging (for example, practitioners naming or talking about "racial issues" may appear to them as though they are entering into more political than therapeutic arenas) and (2) theory-informed guidelines for navigating therapeutic/consultation interactions. We highlight the research that identifies the multiple influences of individual trauma --- developmental, physiological, and societal, and offer strategies for ethically overcoming the challenges that tend to diminish practitioners' ability to help their clients' healing processes. Case studies will be presented to illustrate successful measures to facilitate client healing. This presentation is an introduction to an extended workshop we plan to offer in the fall which will provide attendees with opportunities to engage in role-plays and receive nuanced guidance in the promotion of successful processes and outcomes in therapy and consultation.
Learning Objectives
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. Describe what racial trauma is, its symptomatology, and recent research about its manifestations in people of color.
2. Summarize how racialized environments influence and can exacerbate racial trauma, thus an understanding of these environments is relevant to an understanding of this form of trauma and to ethical psychological practice.
3. Apply theory and other guidelines to the ethical treatment of people of color affected by racial trauma .
4. Describe how racial trauma can be integrated into a practice setting based on qualities about the client and the practitioner.
