Healing Interpersonal & Racial Trauma: Implications for Cognitive and Behavioral Mental Health Treatments

$10.00

The Society of Clinical Psychology Diversity Committee hosts:

 

Presenter:  Dr. Isha W. Metzger, PhD

 

Overview:         

 

The negative consequences of interpersonal trauma (e.g., physical abuse) take a disproportionate toll on Black and other ethnically minoritized youth due to the compounding stress of experiencing unique race related stressors both directly (e.g., microaggressions) and vicariously (e.g., witnessing police brutality in the media). To increase their utility in responding to and treating interpersonal trauma, cognitive and behavioral therapies should integrate and address cultural factors (e.g., system mistrust) that are likely to influence ethnically minoritized families’ willingness to engage in treatment for trauma. In addition, Black youth rely on particular assets and strengths in their families and communities to reduce negative mental and behavioral health outcomes from interpersonal and race-related stressors. Racial socialization is the protective process of transmitting cultural behaviors, attitudes, and values to prepare youth to cope with racial stressors, and is associated with positive outcomes including increased resilience, coping abilities, and decreased problem behaviors and anxiety in diverse youth. This webinar will provide an overview of interpersonal racial stress and trauma, present research on barriers and facilitators to service utilization for diverse families, and discuss strategies for considering culture in mental health treatment for Black and other ethnically minoritized youth.

 

 

Learning Objectives:

 

1.Identify ways that interpersonal and racial stress and trauma impact Black youth development;

 

2. Understand research on barriers and facilitators to trauma treatment utilization for ethnic minority youth and families;

 

3. Describe the protective role of racial socialization on behavioral and mental health outcomes for Black youth; and

 

4. Prepare to utilize 2-3 strategies towards integrating racial socialization as a culturally specific cognitive-behavioral treatment strategy for Black clients.
