Class 1

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

Restoring the Restless: Ethical and Culturally Competent Care for Black Women with Anxiety and Depression

This Workshop Will NOT Be Recorded

This workshop provides mental health clinicians with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to effectively address anxiety and depression in Black women, focusing on culturally responsive and ethical care. Black women face unique stressors rooted in systemic inequities, cultural expectations, and intersectional identities, which often exacerbate mental health challenges. The session aims to deepen clinicians' understanding of these factors while equipping them with affirming practices, resilience-building techniques, and culturally adapted interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Affirmative Practices.

Participants will explore the ethical considerations of providing culturally competent care, including addressing implicit bias, informed consent, and the ethical responsibility to acknowledge and validate racial trauma. The workshop will also examine the impact of racial stress, discrimination, and the "Strong Black Woman" stereotype on emotional well-being. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on activities, attendees will learn to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, validate clients' experiences, and foster emotional resilience.

Clinicians will leave the workshop with a comprehensive framework and practical tools to provide affirming, culturally competent, and ethically sound care that empowers Black women to navigate stress and anxiety while promoting their mental and emotional wellness.

Counseling Black Women

This Workshop Will NOT Be Recorded

This training session, Counseling Black Women, focuses on helping mental health professionals develop culturally humble strategies for working with Black women. The session begins with an introduction to the concept of cultural humility and a discussion of attendees' initial thoughts and expectations for the training. Participants will explore common challenges Black women face, such as navigating societal pressures and stereotypes, and discuss how these issues influence mental health. Attendees will engage in reflective exercises designed to increase self-awareness, particularly regarding power and privilege in the therapeutic relationship. Through group discussions and interactive activities, the session aims to equip participants with the tools necessary to provide culturally responsive care that honors the unique lived experiences of Black women. The training concludes with a review of key takeaways and how participants can apply these insights to their future counseling work.
