Breaking the Cycle: Chronic Stress, Cultural Identity & the Strong Black Woman

This course explores the clinical and cultural dimensions of chronic stress in Black women, with a focus on how the Strong Black Woman identity—while rooted in resilience—can contribute to emotional suppression, unrealistic expectations, and long-term health consequences. Drawing on insights from over eight years of clinical work, Dr. Alana Atchison examines how chronic stress often stems from the breakdown of the StrongBlackWoman identity, as well as unhealed trauma and unresolved emotional wounds. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how racialized gender roles, internalized pressure to “perform strength,” and disconnection from spirit and community drive emotional and physical distress.

Grounded in African-centered psychology, the course offers practical, culturally responsive strategies for helping clients move from survival to wholeness. Attendees will learn how to identify and interrupt harmful coping patterns, promote assertive communication, and integrate healing practices that reconnect Black women to their identity, spirit, and sense of balance. This course is ideal for clinicians who want to deepen their cultural competence and support the liberation and well-being of Black women in therapeutic spaces.

(Trainer - Dr. Alana Atchison is a board-certified clinical psychologist with a private practice based in New York City, where she has served Black women clients for over 8 years. Her work focuses on trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and the emotional toll of living under constant pressure to be “strong.” Dr. Atchison blends clinical insight with culturally grounded strategies to help women reconnect with rest, identity, and spirit. She is passionate about creating healing spaces where Black women can move from survival to wholeness.)

Implicit Bias Training: Increasing Understanding towards Reducing Barriers and Disparities in Access to and Delivery of Physical and Mental Health Care Services

Physical and Mental health professionals cannot ignore the impact that various forms of bias play into the barriers to and disparities experience in the delivery of care. For instance, the concerns of women who present for treatment are more often ignored than those of men who present for treatment. And, the concerns of Black women, in particular, are ignored at their peril. This course explains the role of implicit and explicit bias in defining the systems that provide physical and mental health care in America. This course also includes strategies for individual professionals, and professionals in collaboration, to use in order to reduce disparities in access to and delivery of physical and mental health care services. This course meets the “Implicit Bias Training” requirements outlined under Michigan State Public Health Code.

(Trainer - Kathryn Krase, Ph.D., J.D., M.S.W., Principal Consultant with Krase Consultant, is an expert on the legal and ethical implications of professional practice. She has authored multiple books and articles on the subject. She has years of experience consulting with government and community based organizations to develop policy & practice standards.)

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Risk Factors in Women and Intervention Strategies for Therapists

Therapists are often the first point of contact for female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), yet this topic is frequently under-addressed in clinical education. Many clinicians never receive formal training on IPV, even though clients are experiencing it every day, often without naming it directly.  It may be difficult to support female clients suffering from IPV in silence, without any training in recognizing their quiet distress. This course provides practical, nonjudgmental guidance to support your work with female clients who may not disclose abuse openly and will raise your level of readiness to address IPV in your practice.

Participants will explore how perpetrators often follow a discernible grooming process, and how certain risk factors can increase a client's vulnerability to sexual assault, particularly in cases where the perpetrator is someone known to them. The course also examines personality traits common among perpetrators and the importance of recognizing early warning signs. What makes this course different is by addressing the probability of future IPV victimization of your female clients, before it occurs. Moreover, participants will learn how to raise the topic of safe and healthy relationships with female clients, even when this is not female clients' presenting problem.

(Trainer - Ilana Orange is an EMDR trained trauma therapist in private practice, specializing in recovery from gender based violence. She is currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and is working on a sexual assault prevention project.)
