Consultation calls are an integral component of long-term changes, staff training and skill development. Black Mental Wellness is collaborating with the Great Lakes Mental Health Technology Transfer Center to facilitate consultation calls for mental health providers who address racial stressors and/or trauma with youth in therapy/counseling.
These consultation calls will be a safe space for mental health providers to address challenges in their current therapeutic practices or approaches, learn additional culturally responsive practices, and support providers in discussing racial stressors while building trust and connection with youth.
The Great Lakes MHTTC will provide funding for up to 16 participants accepted into this learning community at no cost. Each consultation group will consist of 5-8 participants, who will meet for a total of 6 sessions over the months of June, July, and August.
Target Audience: Mental health providers from HHS Region 5 who are currently and actively working with youth experiencing racial stress and trauma.
