Although many mental health professionals have received training on Western forms of well-being that center individual perspectives, these modalities may not reflect effective strategies when working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients. As mental health diagnoses disproportionately impact BIPOC communities, it is of paramount importance for clinicians to consider how cultural dynamics and systemic forms of racism and oppression may impact BIPOC mental health. This engaging session outlines the importance of decolonizing mental health perspectives, provides specific strategies for culturally responsive treatment, and empowers attendees to use culturally embedded strategies for self-nourishment and wellbeing.
