Healer… Heal Thyself: The Cumulative Impact of Racial Trauma on Clinician Wellness

Friday, October 23, 9:00am - 12:15pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Like the cumulative impact of racial trauma on our clients, racial trauma and related stressful events can have a cumulative impact on the clinician and his/her/their effectiveness at work. Some of the barriers to wellness are based on the clinician’s individual experiences and how those experiences impact them. Whether it is direct exposure to racial trauma, or more indirect forms, these experiences can make it very difficult to support a clinician’s physical, emotional, and other forms of wellness. During this session, participants will learn how indirect racial trauma exposure through work with racially marginalized clients and systems can severely impact how the clinician feels while doing this work. Additionally, participants will learn specific techniques to address and buffer the effects of vicarious racial trauma.
