Description

For countless individuals, racial trauma shapes their daily lives, leaving deep emotional scars.

But many clinicians struggle with where they should even start …

And the last thing you want to do is misstep, overstep, or outright offend.

That’s where culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help. Widely regarded as the gold standard in mental health treatment, CBT can be powerfully effective for racially diverse populations when appropriately adapted.

So watch author and certified CBT therapist Janeé Steele, PhD, LPC, who developed this training to help you deal with the intricate challenges of treating racial trauma. Through rich case examples and authentic, client-therapist dialogues, you’ll learn to provide culturally sensitive, theoretically informed, and evidence-based CBT treatment strategies for your clients.

As a result of completing this training you will be better prepared to:

  • Conceptualize and assess race-based trauma
  • Unpack race-based stress in a trauma-responsive way
  • Utilize culturally derived sources of strength and coping to further promote healing from race-based trauma
  • Build rapport and create safety in the therapeutic relationship
  • Ease the physical effects of trauma through somatic practices

It’s time to challenge the doubt surrounding CBT’s ability to treat racial trauma. Increase your ability to facilitate recovery from racial trauma and improve CBT outcomes in your work with racially diverse clients!
