November 12th – Identity
How do we center Chicanx/Latinx ethnic identity in practice? In this session we will utilize a Collectivistic Sense of Self to facilitate this connection and bring forth a culturally relevant sense of well-being. There will be two case study applications using the Broaching Race in Counseling framework from a Chicana/o/x Affirmative perspective.
December 3rd – Family
Using the Individualistic/Collectivistic Values Continuum we will locate cultural values and degrees of adherence to traditionalism. The Values Continuum will allow us to bring forth familial strengths that can facilitate healthy connectedness to both family and community from a Chicanx cultural framework. Two case study applications utilizing the Values Continuum will be included.
January 7th – Spirituality
Using the framework of Chicanx Indigenous Spirituality, we will draw on basic concepts of forgiveness, faith, and hope to connect with a culturally relevant sense of wellbeing. In addition, we will discuss the therapeutic value of the indigenous/ancestral concepts of the Four Elements and the similarities between this spiritual concept and mental health.
January 28th – Historical and Intergenerational Trauma
In this session we will discuss specific historical contexts and contemporary intergenerational patterns of the Chicanx/Latinx community. We will learn how to center historical and contemporary Chicanx cultural resources to address manifestations of traumatic responses. We will use the Immigration Resource Genogram to map cultural assets via two case study applications.
The training sessions will be recorded and the recorded sessions will be available after the live date. So, participants may still receive credit for attending if they view the recording and respond to the evaluation of each session. **If you purchase CEs, then you must attend live to receive CEs**
What is Chicana/o/x Affirmative Therapy?
