As a mental health professional, it is important to recognize and address your clients’ experiences on a systemic level. Failing to acknowledge racism as a contributing factor to the anxiety, depression and relational difficulties plagued within the Black community is detrimental to Black mental health.

Do No Harm: Part 1 addresses the impact of white supremacy culture on psychology, the effects of whiteness within the wellness space on black communities, and the ways in which racism impacts Black people physiologically and physically. The training is interactive and asks participants to actively engage in conversations around white supremacy and its impact on us as individuals. 

Do No Harm: Part 2 explores the meaning of diversity, equity, and inclusion within mental health spaces. This training addresses intersectional invisibility and provides participants with skills for allyship within the therapeutic relationship. Participants will be challenged to address implicit biases and practice skills through case conceptualizations.
