Doing Anti-Racism in Clinical Practice: Discussing the Why's and How's

Racism has been identified as an important variable that impacts the health and well-being of people of Color. This workshop will focus on the application of anti-racism in clinical practice. A review of the empirical findings associated with racism and psychological functioning will be followed by outlining an approach to an intentional and deliberate engagement of race in the therapeutic process.

Areas to be covered will include:

1. The requisite body of knowledge needed to inform anti-racist practice.
2. The therapist variables implicated in anti-racist practice.
3. The clinical interventions designed to facilitate anti-racist practice and reduce racial trauma.

Webinars are converted to video on-demand programs with closed captioning after the live air date.

• Identify three psychological outcomes associated with the experience of racism.
• Describe three aspects of anti-racist practice including one area knowledge, one therapist variable, and one clinical intervention.
