SCOPE OF TRAINING
Friday (14 April 2023) Session: Clinical supervisors are tasked with ensuring their own culturally competent engagement with supervisees, and assisting them in understanding how to shape the parallel culturally competent engagement that should occur between supervisees and their clients. Using an interactive group format, this session presents effective ways to approach ethical and culturally- informed case conceptualization, intervention and supervision. Participants will engage in the meaningful and therapeutic conversation surrounding race, culture, the intersection of identities and the dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression that influence the supervision and counseling relationships.
Saturday (15 April 2023) Session: Utilizing didactics, case studies, and experiential exercises, this workshop will provide clarity on intergenerational and historical trauma, its development within families and communities, and how these can present in the clinical room. The relationship between epigenetics and intergenerational trauma and resilience will be covered as part of clarifying clinical conceptualization and treatment of race-based stress and trauma.
During this two-day, in-person training will provide theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as hands-on application each day, to prepare clinicians and clinical supervisors to effectively approach ethical, culturally-rooted, and trauma-informed case conceptualization, intervention, and supervision.
The development of antiracist clinical and supervisory lenses needed for doing this work will be discussed within the context of the Cross-Cultural Civility-Mindset Developmental Model developed by Dr. Sonja Sutherland. Instruments for the assessment of micro-aggressive related trauma for clarifying racial trauma presentation will also be introduced. The following ethical codes will be incorporated in the discussion: ACA 2014, APA 2017, AAMFT 2015, NASW 2018.
