Class 2

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

Restoring the Restless: Ethical and Culturally Competent Care for Black Women with Anxiety and Depression

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.

(Trainer - Krystal Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Special Educator, and School Counselor with over 15 years of collective professional experience. Her journey into the mental health profession began by working with children and families in Foster care, the Juvenile Justice System, Psychiatry, and contracting with the Department of Family and Protective Services. Over the years, she gained extensive experience across a wide range of clinical settings, including group private practice, crisis intervention services, psychiatric care, as well as working with public and charter schools in the DFW area.

Mrs. Thornton is a sought speaker on Social Emotional Learning, Stress Management, Burnout, and for for the past three years, she has focused on helping high-performing professionals in high-stress environments, addressing challenges related to anxiety, stress management, career burnout, life transitions, and resilience-building.
