Chicana/o/x Affirmative Therapy Training Series: Clinical Responsiveness & Chicanx Mental Health


As a result of this training participants will understand the framework for a Chicana/o/x Affirmative approach, understand how a focus on identity, family, and spirituality are key in a Chicanx Affirmative approach, learn to be culturally responsive to Chicana/x/o culture in clinical interactions, gain an understanding of varying notions of mental well-being from a Chicana/o/x perspective, and apply these concepts with case scenarios in each training session. Features of the training series are: Constructing Chicana/o/x wellness & well-being, the roles of identity, family, and spirituality for Chicana/o/x mental health, facilitating a reconnection to current and ancestral cultural strengths in clinical practice, aspects of Chicana/o/x culture that complements the practice of counseling & therapy, values & assumptions of the mental health field that are not congruent with Chicana/o/x wellness culture, the impacts of marginalization and discrimination on Chicana/o/x well-being on an individual and community level, and the inclusion of historical trauma in the treatment of Chicana/o/x populations. **Must register with the Institute of Chicana/o/x Psychology in addition to registering for CEs.
