Many clinicians were never trained to recognize how Black identity development shapes mental health.

That gap shows up in therapy rooms every day.

In this 3-hour course, we will discuss:
• How identity development affects mental health and coping
• How racism-related stress shows up clinically
• How to incorporate identity development into treatment planning

If you are a clinician who wants to provide better care for Black clients, this training will give you practical tools you can apply immediately.

March 23rd, 10 AM – 1 PM CST

I think one of the best things about being a psychologist is the versatility in our skills. I absolutely love the science and the therapy and the education piece. But one of the places where I’ve been able to make some of the most lasting changes is consulting with education institutions on their policies. There are so many times when parents are trying to advocate for their children on a one to one level when the problem is institutional and someone like me needs to come in, collect data, provide updates, new policies, observe, and repeat. Parents advocate for the educators of your children to have professional development that’s not only about the new math but also about the way they socialize our children. Have the administration show you that they prioritize whole student care by hiring professionals to come in and help with policy restructuring. The expectation for educators to be experts in education, therapy, IEPs, etc etc is wrong. There are experts out there for a reason. Use us.

There are many people who step in with advice from a place where they think they are helping you or protecting you, but always think about whether y’all have the same values experiences or talents.

I think it’s a really easy to look past the actions and focus on the words. Especially when you care about someone and you can care about someone who doesn’t treat you the way you deserve to be treated, it happens all the time. But I always say that everything is data, so pay attention. If you are struggling to identify where you stand with an individual use this time to collect and address the data that you have regarding how they engage with you, in their words versus their actions.
