Despite various attempts, racial trauma continues to receive limited clinical attention in the field of mental health and psychology (Jernigan & Daniel, 2011). While the presence of blatant racism is less prevalent, implicit or subtle racism is still pervasive in the mental health field (Penson, 2013).

During this course, participants will explore the historical impacts of racism within the clinical and medical fields. Additionally, participants will understand the impacts of racial trauma. Building upon this knowledge, participants will gain tools to incorporate anti-racist counseling approaches and culturally appropriate interventions. Participants will explore case studies and apply knowledge in dyadic activities to foster comfort in working with racially diverse populations. Upon completion of this training, participants will leave with actionable steps to continue their journey toward dismantling racism in the mental health field.

Responding to the calls of several scholars encouraging clinicians to engage in specialized training around healing racial trauma, this training seeks to provide this much-needed offering (Sue, Capidilupo, Torino, Bucceri, Holder, Nadal, Esquilian, 2007).

Learning Objectives

Deepen understanding of the historical impacts of racism within the mental health and medical field.

Participant Reflections

  • I really appreciated the case studies and the discussion of how race & identity dynamics may show up in different dyads (therapist-client, supervisor-supervisee, practice-clinician, etc).

  • “I learned many things from this training, and one thing that really stands out is that incorporating anti-racism is an ongoing process. We can ensure anti-racism is being practiced in our clinical work if we do just that, practice it! Over and over and over again. It is in the process that we are ever learning, re-learning and unlearning anti-racist dominant systems and cultures.”

    — CEU Participant

  • I learned about ways to gently bring it into the process of therapy if there are recognitions of race identity impacting someone's concerns. I learned about the risks of overidentification with a client, and I gained a better understanding of how the Eurocentric model of mental health impacts the cultural curiosity and humility providers need more of.
