Class 2
1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST
This workshop provides mental health clinicians with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to effectively address anxiety and depression in Black women, focusing on culturally responsive care. Black women face unique stressors rooted in systemic inequities, cultural expectations, and intersectional identities, which often exacerbate mental health challenges. The session aims to deepen clinicians' understanding of these factors while equipping them with affirming practices, resilience-building techniques, and culturally adapted interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Affirmative Practices.
Participants will explore the impact of racial stress, discrimination, and the "Strong Black Woman" stereotype on emotional well-being. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on activities, attendees will learn to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, validate clients' experiences, and foster emotional resilience. Clinicians will leave the workshop with a comprehensive framework and practical tools to provide affirming, culturally competent care that empowers Black women to navigate stress and anxiety while promoting their mental and emotional wellness.
