Friend,
Being aware of how racial discrimination impacts mental health is essential for a therapist.
It's important to understand the various levels of racial discrimination from institutional, community, local, social, physical and more to help Black and other marginalized communities.
We dive into this topic with Kimberly Bonds-Grocher, LCSW, CPC, RYT. She helps us learn and understand what we can do as a therapeutic community to be more inclusive and open up to talking about topics of race, racism and racial trauma with our clients. We chatted about: How racial discrimination impacts mental and physical health. Being aware of the impact that social and cultural issues may have on clients. Most clients want to know that their therapists can tolerate discussing these issues. Considering ways to be inclusive in the marketing messages. Looking at our practices, organizations, and associations to see if they're inclusive and representative of the people we're serving.
