SUMMARY:Understanding Black Clients in Mental Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Are you a clinician/professional who works with Black individuals? \nAbout Us:\nBlack Mental Health Canada (BMHC) is a volunteer\, non-profit\, organization with the mission to meet the mental health needs of the diverse Black communities in Canada. \nMission\nTo facilitate access to affordable\, culturally safe and affirming mental health services to the Black community through education\, advocacy\, and provision of resources. \nVision\nTo bring awareness that Mental Health issues are a real and significant problem within the Black community and respond by promoting culturally empowering and equitable services. \nAbout this event:\nUnderstanding Black Clients in Mental Health Care\, the workshop will equip mental health practitioners and service providers to support clients from a culturally and Africentric perspective. \nMental Health clinicians have been trained to provide service utilizing a Eurocentric framework in service planning and delivery\, which have not always proved effective for clients of African descent. \nEmerging literature have indicated that there are crucial benefits to incorporating an Africentric framework in service provision when working with clients of African descent; as instilling African values in interventions increases protective factors and build resilience to support recovery. \nThis workshop will delineate central differences between Africentric and Eurocentric treatment approaches and provide tangible strategies on how to integrate Africentric approaches in their work with clients of African descent. \nWhat to Expect.\nDescription:\nThis event seeks to orient\, educate\, and train clinicians and Allied Health professionals on servicing clients of African descent by incorporating an Africentric perspective in their practice. We wish to increase understanding of race based trauma among racialized clients and teach clinicians and allied staff to provide services from an Africentric and asset focused perspective. \nObjectives to: \n\nBuild knowledge base of Africentric framework in clinical practice\nBuild awareness of the implications of Africentric modality in service provision\nBuild capacity to translate framework in clinical practice\nBuild knowledge base of race based trauma;\nFacilitate better understanding of the implications for clinical practice;\nDeliver a racism recovery plan on Black mental health wellness from an Afrocentric perspective.\n\n\nContact:\nt: 1888-220-2510\ne: info@blackmentalhealth.ca\nw: www.blackmentalhealth.ca \nReserve a spot with the Eventbrite link below.
