Training Details:

Are you in need for continuing education credits for your upcoming renewal? Would you like to learn how to better serve Black women? If so, please join us for an enriching continuing education training session designed to equip you with the knowledge and techniques needed to effectively support Black women in therapy.

In this engaging and interactive virtual training, Kimberly Parker, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), will share her expertise and insights to deepen your understanding of counseling Black women.

What You’ll Gain:

By participating in this training, you will:

Gain increased knowledge on presenting concerns for Black women, enabling you to provide targeted and effective support.
Develop a heightened awareness of the stigmas and stereotypes affecting Black women, allowing you to create a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment.
Enhance your understanding of the unique challenges Black women face in therapy, empowering you to tailor your approach and address their specific needs.
Acquire effective and necessary techniques for working with Black women, ensuring culturally humble and impactful counseling sessions.

Why You Need to Be at This Training:

According to the American Psychological Association's (APA) 2019 Membership Demographics Survey, about 4.3% of APA members who identified their race/ethnicity were Black or African American (APA, 2019). While this number does not account for all therapist-related disciplines (e.g.: licensed professional counselors or social workers) or provisionally licensed therapists throughout the United States, it does indicate that the number of Black counselors is significantly low. Due to this, it is inevitable that cross-cultural, therapeutic relationships will and do take place. With this in mind, it is essential that knowledge and tools are gained to better serve this population.

Furthermore, Black is not a monolith. There is room to learn and grow for any counselor who accepts the challenge of practicing cultural humility and overall, the duty to do no harm.

Please note, the facilitator is dedicated to providing a safe space to all attendees. It is okay if you fumble your words and don't know it all. That's what we are here for! The only ingredients that are required are a willingness and openness to learn.
