Non-Contact Webinar Description:
Black youth spend their childhoods navigating negative race-based experiences due to systemic racism. The daily interaction with microaggressions, prejudice, discrimination, and racism can lead to race-based stress in these youth and, left untreated, evolve into racial trauma. This workshop will explore the signs of race-based stress and racial trauma in Black youth in the playroom, along with fun and creative interventions to apply in individual, group and family play therapy. Participants will leave this workshop with an awareness of play themes associated with racial trauma in Black youth and creative play therapy interventions to support Black youth experiencing racial trauma in any playroom and beyond. This webinar will provide 2 APT non-contact webinar CEs.
