Black women in
the United States are a unique population and it is important to understand
their social, ecological, and historical experiences in order to effectively
support them in therapy. Presenters will provide attendees with information
about the strengths Black women possess, the challenges they face, and the
clinical implications of these common experiences. Themes discussed will
include how Black American women may present in therapy, what are common
alternative coping strategies, factors related to the under-utilization of
counseling services and the resulting maladaptive stress-related behaviors that
threaten their mental health. Culturally responsive strategies and treatment
options are made for therapists who are interested in working with Black women.
