Workshop Description

In the article, Black Male Hunting: A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Secondary Impact of Police Induced Trauma, written by Dr. Lipscomb, based on a (2018) study found that police killings of unarmed Black men have severe psychological and emotional impact on not only Black men but Black people in general in the United States.

As Social Workers and or Mental Health Professionals, we can no longer ignore that the time has come for us to engage in racially-just pedagogy that provides clinicians with anti-racist best practice skill sets to reduce the probability of causing harm and re-traumatizing clients of color, particularity black males.

This webinar presentation is designed for social workers, mental health clinicians, counselors, educators and human service providers at all levels of experience and licensure. The goal is to teach, inform and encourage providers to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive when providing services to African American/Black men and youth who are experiencing traumatic grief and loss.  

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze the historical context of African American/Black men and grief
  • Describe how African American/Black men respond to grief and loss based on scholarly research.
  • Assess stigmas, stereotypes and cultural beliefs about African American/Black men expressing their emotions as it relates to loss.
  • Describe three ways to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive when supporting, advocating and/or treat the unique grief reactions exhibited by African American/Black men.
  • Compare and critique racism and anti-racism advocacy for African American/Black men.

This workshop is approved for 3.0 continuing education credit hours.
