Supporting Young People of Color: A Culturally Responsive Framework for Navigating Race-Based Stress
5-Session Live Online Course | Mondays, starting April 8, 2024
10 CE Hours Available
Supporting Young People of Color is a live online course designed to give you, and the BIPOC adolescents and young adults you work with, a toolkit for more confidently addressing experiences related to racial identity and associated stress.
In 5 sessions, you’ll learn a new therapeutic framework called the Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Healing Unifying Principles, or REACH UP. Dr. Ryan DeLapp, the leader of the course, developed this framework alongside Dr. Laurie Gallo to help clinicians flexibly assess race-based stress and adapt treatment plans when working with adolescents and young adults of color.
Using this framework, you’ll learn how you can:
- Help young people build skills that allow them to access more agency, self-love, and empowerment in their experiences as racial beings
- Become a resource to BIPOC youth as they navigate race-based stress, racism-related stress, or racial trauma during a critical, developmental time in their lives
- Confidently and authentically address issues of race-based stress in a way that’s responsive to clients’ individual needs, interests, and identities
- Lead productive and culturally sensitive conversations about racial identity, even if your racial and cultural backgrounds are different to your clients’
- In addition to benefiting from highly practical instruction, you’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences with race, hear case examples, and receive worksheets, exercises, and other intervention tools to help you integrate this new framework with clients.
All along the way, you’ll receive actionable recommendations to help you clarify the impact of race-based stress in clients’ lives and implement coping resources that promote their empowerment, self-acceptance, and healing.
