Increased hate crimes. Fear and discrimination. Police brutality and traumatic media coverage. Higher rates of mental and physical health disorders.
Just because your clients aren’t talking about racial trauma, doesn’t mean they’re not dealing with it.
It is critical that your therapeutic space instills a sense of safety and calm and agency and empowerment for BIPOC clients.
Imagine your Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) clients leaving therapy…
…feeling like their traumatic experiences no longer drain or define them
…having gained a sense of ownership over their story
…using their trauma to help or inspire others into healthy action
Chinwé Williams, PhD, and Licensed and Board-Certified EMDR therapist has been supporting BIPOC clients with trauma recovery for over a decade. She serves the BIPOC community as a published researcher and author, consultant, educator, and a featured expert blog and media contributor. She specializes in somatically-focused approaches to teach clients how to regulate the nervous system and safely use the body for healing racial trauma.
In this live one-day webinar, Dr. Williams will go beyond cultural competency and “top-down approaches”, like CBT—because clients can’t think their way out of trauma.
You’ll learn…
Don’t let therapy be another space where a BIPOC client doesn’t feel safe and heard.
Join this expert-led training to grow deeper in your connections with BIPOC clients and improve clinical outcomes.
