Class 1

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

Supporting Blacks in Combating the Distress of Overt and Covert Racial Discrimination through Anti-racist Therapy Intervention

This workshop is not available for playback

Explore the profound impact of racism, recognized as a pandemic by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2020, on the life outcomes of Black individuals. Delve into the distinctions between overt and covert racism, considering exposure to racism as a form of trauma. The workshop will shed light on health outcomes associated with racial trauma, supported by relevant statistics, and introduce the Diathesis Stress Theory.

In this experiential workshop, participants will engage in an interactive discussion that provides an overview of the current manifestations of racism in 2023. The session will highlight correlated mental health outcomes and incorporate the Diathesis Stress Theory, along with the Biopsychosocial Model. Attendees will gain insights into specific anti-racist techniques, seamlessly integrated with traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches. You will leave this training equipped with a unique toolkit to address the mental health impact of racism and contribute to fostering positive change.

Class 2

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

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

This workshop is not available for playback

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)
