“The aspect of “post” outlined in PTSD does not reflect racial trauma because BIPOC individuals continue to consistently live through societal oppression.”

-Dr. Jude Mary Cénat

It is essential that behavioral health professionals understand the trauma their BIPOC clients may have experienced (and continue to experience). Participants will learn key concepts of racial trauma, including white supremacy, acculturation, colonial mentality, and internalized racism. We will discuss the division that may occur among BIPOC due to internalized racism and the colonial mentality, all of which is compounded by issues of class, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability.Participants will identify ways to embody values of social justice and anti-oppression in work with clients.

This is an introductory level class that is recommended to complete prior to the training on May 13 & 20 Implementing an Anti-Racist Therapeutic Framework.
