They are seeing worsening mental health conditions, an increase in addictions, as well as family and relationship breakdowns. Paraphrasing the writer Toni Morrison, how can we as helpers become “as fearless as one can, behave as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances”? How can we help clients move toward “survival, blossoming, and endurance” given this climate? There is a need for a coherent trauma-informed framework, team-building, and individual coping skills to fortify professionals’ grit, resistance, and perseverance, as they support communities that are hurting.Drawing on neuroscience research as well as wisdom of ancestors from marginalized and indigenous communities, the workshop describes how culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed practices and leadership can be an important factor in buffering against psychological injury and enhancing long-term resilience. In addition to presenting content on trauma-informed, anti-racist, and anti-colonial practices and strategies of resistance, the impacts of trauma and racism on the body, and the value of empathy and authenticity in navigating sensitive issues, the workshop will model trauma-informed facilitation practices participants can use in their work.By the end of the workshop, participants willUpdate their understanding of trauma-informed practice and/or resistance to be effective in the current climate;Review the characteristics of collective trauma as it applies to immigrant/refugee, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities;Understand the different pathways of the autonomic nervous system and how they can be marshaled intentionally for emotional self-regulation, collective co-regulation, and resistance; andDraw on the wisdom of ancestors from marginalized and indigenous communities for inspiration.Six hours of continuing education (cultural competence/clinical) approved through the National Association of Social Workers.BIPOC REPARATIONS DISCOUNT: If you identify as a member of BIPOC communities, you are entitled to a 25% discount.MILITARY DISCOUNT: If you served in the military, either currently or in the past, or you are a military spouse, either currently or in the past, there is a 25% discount.Contact Wayne Scott for discount codes.Since 1989 Wayne Scott, MA, LCSW has worked with youth and adults in outpatient, residential, and hospital settings in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Portland, OR and he currently maintains a private consulting and psychotherapy practice in Portland, Oregon.
