Utilizing an Afrocentric Framework in Mental Health Care: Afrocentric counselling and training
This project proposes to expand the delivery of an existing BMHC online curriculum to build capacity among clinicians to provide culturally safe and appropriate mental health counselling and support to Black clients who have experienced racial trauma or race-based traumatic stress. The primary audience that the project is intended to reach is mental health clinicians across Canada; both Black providers treating Black individuals as well as non-Black providers working in areas with high proportions of Black clientele.
We aim to equip and provide an Afrocentric lens through which practitioners and can see and evaluate their Black or Black-identifying clients, and also provide and Afrocentric framework for treatment.
The project will involve implementing 100 2-day workshops over 17 months resulting in approximately 1000 – 1500 mental health practitioners across Canada trained in culturally responsive Afrocentric care for the Black community
Lead organization: Black Mental Health Canada
