Decolonizing Psychosis
May 30th, 1:00- 3:00pm EST, conducted online via Zoom
To date, roughly 100,000 young people experience psychosis each year, yet traditional counseling and psychology programs provide scarce training on supporting clients experiencing psychosis (National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2023). Furthermore, Psychotic disorders are the world’s leading cause of disability. (Vos, Barber, Bell, Bertozzi-Villa, Biryukov, Bolliger, … & Brugha, 2015). Folks who have experienced psychosis also have a history of interpersonal trauma, making it imperative for therapists to not only gain the tools in assessing psychosis but also on how to build strong therapeutic alliances to support the care of their clients (Shattock, Berry, Degnan, Edge, 2018). According to the NIH, psychosis can be triggered by genetic risk, differences in brain development, and exposure to stressors or trauma. Yet with decades of research, there has not been a clear consensus on the etiology of psychosis (Fusar-Poli, McGorry, Kane, 2017). As the field works towards depathologizing care, it’s important to remember that psychosis is not a diagnosis; instead, it's a break or disruption from reality.
This training will unpack our understanding of psychosis from a decolonial lens while providing trauma-informed care tools. Participants will deepen their understanding of the key components of psychosis, including symptomology, treatment modalities, and decolonial approaches to care. Participants will also engage in case conceptualizations to support their understanding and implementation of the training material.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to list the key components of psychosis, including symptomology and trauma-informed care tools
Participants will be able to identify the difference between modern psychiatry and Decolonized Psychology
Participants will discuss their understanding of decolonial approaches to caring for clients experiencing Psychosis.
Cultivating Healers seeks to provide educational and engaging CEUs with liberatory information, pop-quizzes, and case studies to ensure your learning.
This training is eligible for 2 Continuing Education Credits for NBCC Counselors & NY LMHCs, LCSWs, and LMSWs.
