Details

During this session the facilitator will discuss strengths held and challenges faced by BIPOC women in the workplace. Clinician will provide psychoeducation on concepts including intersectionality, gendered-racial microaggressions, and pet-to-threat phenomenon. Clinician will also discuss cultural strengths which mediate these experiences for BIPOC women in the workplace and guide participants through an exercise in self-definition for self and one's group.

Participants will be able to:
1) Define factors which negatively impact the mental health of BIPOC women in the workplace
2) Identify cultural strengths which support psychological wellness
3) Construct a strength-based definition of self and one's group in order to challenge the harmful narratives perpetuated at the intersection of sexist and racist ideologies
