Course Description: Racial trauma refers to the psychological and emotional distress resulting from experiences of racism, discrimination and oppression.  For mental health professionals, it is important to understand how racial trauma impacts individuals and communities, and to develop effective strategies to support healing and resilience.  Healing practices for racial trauma are essential for addressing the ongoing impact of systemic, racism and promoting equity and social justice. Racial trauma can have profound effects on individuals' mental health, relationships and sense of identity.  By fostering healing and resilience, communities can work toward collective liberation, empowerment and well-being for all members.

In this course, we will explore the impact of racial trauma and strategies for healing and resilience-building among individuals and within communities.  We will examine culturally responsive approaches to addressing racial trauma and fostering healing and empowerment.  Participants will explore the assessment, coping strategies, techniques and therapeutic interventions aimed at addressing racial trauma. 

This is part of BHE's 10-course Trauma Series

Learning Objectives: 

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the impact and manifestations of racial trauma.
  • Apply culturally sensitive assessment techniques to identify and evaluate racial trauma symptoms and experiences.

**Trauma Series**
BHE's trauma series provides an array of courses that support the development of trauma-informed care, assessment, and treatment planning for children, adolescents and adults.  Each trauma series course is rooted in the understanding that trauma is a fundamental issue for many people seeking treatment, and that trauma-informed care is essential to promote recovery and resilience.
 
A certificate of completion is available for those who successfully complete 50 hours of courses in the trauma-informed training series.  Interested individuals have three years to complete the ten courses.  These ten courses are offered via webinar through DHS Training Series in 2024, with the hope to offer these courses and/or others in future years.
 
The two required courses are "The Fundamentals: Trauma Definitions and Diagnoses" and "The Fundamentals: Trauma-Informed Care."  Beyond that, BHE offers a rotating array of trauma-related courses on many topics, including: children, adolescents, families, gender, race, treatment approaches, vicarious trauma and many others.
 
The rationale is to offer a selection of courses that are current and meet the interests and needs of providers.  Each course comes with a certificate for 5 hours of continuing education.  When you have successfully accomplished 50 hours of training, you will receive an additional certificate of completion for the full trauma series through the mail.
