Interactive Zoom Workshop - Please be aware that this is a highly interactive and discussion-based Zoom workshop with multiple breakout rooms. Be prepared to have your camera on.
Overview: Utilizing didactics, case studies, and experiential exercises, counselors, marriage and family therapists, and clinical social workers will gain greater clarity about intergenerational and historical trauma, its development within families and communities, and how these can present in the treatment with clients of diverse racial backgrounds. The relationship between epigenetics and intergenerational trauma and resilience will be covered as part of clarifying clinical conceptualization and treatment of race-based stress injury and trauma. Instruments for the assessment of micro-aggressive related trauma for clarifying racial trauma presentation will also be introduced. ACA, AAMFT, NASW, and APA Codes of Ethics will be discussed.
