The Racial Trauma Treatment Protocol

$249.99 Standard
Also Available: Digital Seminar

Racial stress and trauma are common presentations in therapy…and the number of clients needing treatment is only expected to grow.

But there are few guidelines available for therapists, and fewer trainings, to show you what to do in sessions. No step-by-step guides, no clinical tools and no practice tips. You feel like you’re winging it; knowing these clients need your help, but worried that the lack of available clinical guidance will leave them suffering for years…maybe forever.

That’s why Dr. Monnica Williams, psychologist and one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject of racial trauma, has developed a 12-Session Protocol that gives therapists a step-by-step blueprint to assess for racial stress and trauma and achieve optimal outcomes in treatment.

And now, in this one-day seminar, Dr. Williams and fellow expert Dr. Chad Wetterneck will provide you the specialized training you need to utilize her treatment protocol, so you never need to feel like your clients’ race-based wounds will go unaddressed again.

When you purchase, you’ll get the essential components of treatment for racial stress and trauma based in today’s most up-to-date empirical evidence so you can:

  • Better validate clients’ race-based experiences
  • Combat clients internalized racism and self-blame
  • Help clients process their traumatic race-based experiences
  • Increase clients’ feelings of agency toward racism and reduce their feelings of helplessness
  • And much more!

Don’t spend one more day worrying if clients who’ve suffered traumatic racial experiences, bias and discrimination are getting the best treatment you can provide.
