DID YOU KNOW...???

The use of African-centered counseling theories equips mental health clinicians to:

• Critically analyze the Eurocentric norms embedded in clinical training to minimize their impact on culturally diverse clients.

• Place culture at the center of effective clinical practice.

• Utilize knowledge based upon the client’s African identity, cultural mores, and value system.

• Employ culturally recognizable interventions with clients to ensure sustainability of change.

However, most mental health training programs do not include sufficient information about African-centered counseling theories (and corresponding interventions). CRESTSprogram, LLC is dedicated to closing this training gap by providing clinicians with information about African-centered counseling theories through its 3-part lecture series (described below).

 It's time to take that first step in decolonizing your training.

Learn how to infuse Black cultural values into your work with Black clients. Begin by learning about psychological theories based on Black cultural worldviews. Gain insight into culture-centered interventions that have been shown to be effective with Black clients.

Learn how Black mental health goals differ from the clinical goals you were taught in your training, often based on

Eurocentric views and values.

This program is a valuable resource for anyone interested in decolonizing their training and incorporating evidence-based mental health services for individuals and communities of African descent.

Don't wait. Your clients are depending on you!
