Mental health treatment within the Black community is becoming much more acceptable but there are still barriers to accessing care. Whether in outpatient community mental health centers, hospitals, school systems or in private practice, the challenges are usually consistent across treatment settings. This course will attempt to look at two sides of this issue: from a Black social worker’s perspective and from the perspective of clients seeking such therapists.
Objectives:
- Attendees will be able to understand some of the unique challenges in the Black community among therapists and clients as it pertains to treatment.
- Evaluate their own practice with Black individuals, families, and communities.
- Discuss how historical approaches to mental health have impacted clinical treatment in Black communities.
