Examining Mood Disorder from a Biopsychosocial Model among Women who Identify as BIPOC

Wednesday, July 31, 2024, 10:00 AM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT

$59.99 Dr. Eugena Griffin

The workshop will provide the attendees with an interactive discussion that will include an overview of the Biopsychosocial Model as part of a comprehensive health assessment and treatment model. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the World Health Organization's (WHO) suggestion for comprehensive evaluations using the Biopsychosocial Model as the tool. Such will be applied explicitly to building an assessment of Mood Disorders among Black Women. Research postulates that mood-related difficulties and cardiovascular are interconnected and remain higher for Black women compared to other groups. There is a need to understand the impact of unique and potential generational stressors on health outcomes experienced by women who identify as BIPOC. Such could aid in reducing health disparities maintained in 2024 and beyond.

Target Audience: Practitioners (Psychologist, Social Workers, and LMHC) and Educators

Intermediate Level (assumes that attendees have some experience with the topic and that the presentation will add to basic knowledge).

Style: Experiential (primarily experiential exercises and/or group discussions)
