    TOPIC

    The Physiological and Psychological Impact of Race Based Trauma: How to be an Antiracist Therapist

    PRESENTER


    Dr. Shaywanna Harris-Pierre


    PRESENTATION SUMMARY

    Due to current events, counselors are focusing heavily on antiracism and the impact of the social climate on their client’s wellbeing. Of course, the racial climate in this country has long been a concern of BIPOC. The consistent, ongoing nature of racial trauma that occurs for BIPOC in this country creates lasting emotional and physiological impact. As counselors, we tend to focus on the emotional impact of trauma, but it’s also important to consider the connection trauma has to the body when working with clients of color. This webinar will provide information about the connection between race based traumatic experiences and physiological responses in the body, and how therapists can engage with antiracist ideas as a way to improve their connections with clients of color and operate from an antiracist perspective. There will also be a Q&A with Dr. Harris-Pierre.


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    • Participants will learn how race-based trauma can be experienced by BIPOC clients. 
    • Participants will learn the definition and application of the term Antiracist.
    • Participants will learn what it means to implement antiracist principles into their work as therapists.
