Upcoming Trainings
Identity Exploration and Development for the Therapist
Saturday January 13, 2024 9a-1:30p CST via Zoom - Registration opens mid-November 2023.
​
This course aims to increase therapists’ self-awareness at the intersections of identity, power, and oppression. This training is inherently systemic and centers person-in-context. By exploring the nuance and complexity of their own identity development, participants will build awareness, empathy, and cultural humility for clients - especially those who are marginalized and oppressed.
​
Upon course completion, participants will be able to:
-
Identify and reflect on the basic stages and contexts of identity development.
-
Guide clients through a holistic exploration of identity.
-
Articulate the primary systems of oppression, identify their own levels of more or less power within those systems, and develop language to discuss identity, power, and oppression with clients.
-
Create more authentic therapeutic alliances with clients of diverse identities.
​
CEU Approved for Minnesota Boards: BBHT, MFT (Cultural Competency), and Social Work.
This training will repeat quarterly online via Zoom.
Lola is available to present this training to your clinic in-person or via Zoom.
