Class 1

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST

Race and Police Interaction - A Social Justice Workshop

This presentation will NOT be recorded for playback review.

The purpose of this workshop is to help clinicians recognize the social problem of racism that has emerged systemically in our police system. Racism has caused distress in the lives of people of color psychologically and emotionally. Systemic and structural racism are societal problems impacting and affecting the lives of people of color. Racism is tied to structural and individual bias that allows racism to play as a gatekeeping function in how other systems, like the police system, interact with people of color.

This workshop aims to increase awareness on the part of professionals regarding the influences that help sustain police brutality, encourage a trauma-informed lens, and provide skills in working with parents when using police intervention. We will also discuss steps that parents can take when feeling that their rights or the rights of their teens have been violated.

This webinar meets the *NEW* Maryland Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice content requirement for Social Workers

The Therapeutic Alliance: Building Trust with Clients and Families

Studies show a strong correlation between the therapeutic alliance and positive client outcomes (Cameron et al., 2018; Sylvestre & Gobeil, 2020). Essential techniques for building rapport and trust include empathetic communication and reflective responding (Taylor, 2020; Harris & Panozzo, 2019). Additionally, engaging families in the therapeutic process has been shown to enhance client success (Skundberg-Kletthagen et al., 2020).

This course educates participants on the value of the therapeutic alliance in both individual and family work, while teaching effective communication skills to foster trust and rapport with clients and their families. Participants will learn techniques to engage family systems in therapy to improve treatment outcomes and gain tools to navigate challenging dynamics and build collaborative therapeutic relationships.
