Closing and Closing Session: Supporting Black Folx in Treatment through Integrating Music and Drama Therapy through a Black Aesthetic Lens
A Recorded Webinar
Recorded on Friday, February 10, 2023
Description
Post traumatic slave syndrome (PTSS) is defined as “a condition that exists when a population has experienced multigenerational trauma resulting from centuries of slavery and continues to experience oppression and institutionalized racism today.” (Burrowes, 2019). Individuals who report traumatic experiences of oppression are often looking to find their voice, and have their voice heard, validated, and healed. Providing an avenue of healing through expressive arts is a critical component of culturally responsive counseling for the Black community (Collins, 2022). In this presentation, participants will deepen their understanding of the cultural impact of music in the Black community and how to integrate music into addiction treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe how expressive therapies benefit clients with a history of trauma.
- Participants will be able to describe how and why expressive therapies can be especially healing for member of the Black community.
- Participants will be able to identify three ways to begin to incorporate music into addiction treatment.
