Ethno-Racial Trauma and Latinidad: Using the Psychology of Radical Healing as a Therapeutic Approach — Dr. Hector Adames and Dr. Nayeli Y. Chavez-Dueñas
About this Event
Latinxs in the United States are living through one of the most challenging periods in modern U.S. history. Latinxs are negatively impacted by racism, nativism, ethnocentrism, and other systemic forms of oppression, which can lead to psychological distress, including ethno-racial trauma. This form of trauma stems from experiencing or witnessing discrimination, threats of harm, violence, and intimidation directed at Latinxs and other People of Color. The goal of this presentation is twofold. One, describe the impact of institutional racism and ethnocentrism on Latinx individuals and communities. Two, introduce the Keeping Radical Healing in Mind Therapeutic Approach as a clinical method practitioners can use to support Latinxs experiencing ethno-racial trauma.
