3 CEs
Collective grief—grief shared by a community after racialized violence, structural harms, or public tragedies—shows up in our caseloads and our own bodies. This training translates the science and lived reality of community-level loss into concrete, culturally responsive care. Participants will
(1) examine the mental health impact of racialized harm and chronic injustice,
(2) practice evidence-informed community interventions (e.g., psychological first aid, skills for psychological recovery) adapted for racially impacted communities, and
(3) build ethically sound “wounded healer” practices so we can support others while grieving too.
Attendees will leave with step-by-step strategies, language, and tools to move clients and communities from overwhelm to organized healing—and a personal action plan to sustain the work.
