About the Event

Participants will be energized throughout this day-long innovative and interactive workshop, beginning with an introduction to Critical Trauma Theory, an emerging micro theoretical approach to Critical Race, Positive Youth Development and Trauma Theories, and how to successfully integrate this into current practices. Participants will then explore culturally sustaining arts-based, dialectical, and community based participatory therapeutic approaches with emerging evidence to be successful with youth. Participants will leave with a strategic plan for implementing culturally sustaining behavioral health techniques in their daily practices.
