We are proud to introduce CAMFT’s 2021 Virtual Experience Conference keynote speakers. These leaders will deliver the perfect prescription of clarity, strength, focus and mental health awareness in 2021:
FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2021 Dr. Joy DeGruy, PhD "Culture Specific Models of Service Delivery and Practice" (2 CEs)
SATURDAY, MAY 8, 2021 Lori Gottlieb, MFT “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” (1.5 CEs)
"Lessons in Connectedness, Racial Capitalism, Implicit Bias, and Colorism" Dr. Miguel E. Gallardo PsyD 10:45 am - 12:15 pm (1.5 CEs) As the nation is currently facing challenges that are creating more darkness and divisiveness, our ability to engage in thoughtful and meaningful discourse on cultural issues remains ever present. Remembering our shared humanity and connectedness, in spite of our current challenges, has never been more paramount. This webinar addresses the impact of racial capitalism, racial colorblindness, implicit bias, and colorism on our (in)ability to create meaningful changes. It is hoped that attendees gain an understanding how to work towards more antiracist-intersectional practices, both personally and professionally
Research in affective neuroscience and attachment from 1960 to 2020 points out answers to open compassion, understanding and inspiration for therapists. Studies focusing on in utero, infancy, toddlerhood through adolescence bring compelling revelations about the perilous developmental journey of being male.
Edited and captioned video of individual psychotherapy sessions with men will show breakthroughs that develop alternate neural networks and new ways of responding. Methods of Transformative Therapy will be shown so therapists can open doorways to pioneering expressions of men of courage and kindness in relation to self and others. Theory, practice and experience will be well integrated.
The workshop will comprise of the trainer and participants sharing "therapeutic train wrecks" that they survived and learned from. Participants will be encouraged to reveal clinical/therapeutic mistakes : misdiagnoses, cultural blindness, problematic counter-transference, ignorance, skill deficits, stereotyping, anxiety, confusion, and more that led to negative client reactions, explosions, and termination. This will serve to both educate and reassure therapists of the humbling imperfect process of therapy, but incredibly formative for professional growth. What was learned from the mistakes- the train wrecks, and how walking away from clinical disasters or disappointments prompted growth and depth... and better clinical practice subsequently.
This presentation is based on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) research demonstrating significant racial and socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes resulting from differential exposure to toxic stress. The impact of contextual issues will be addressed on who experiences multiple life stressors, the divergent physiological and psychological impact of these stressors, and the significant differences in access to Stress Busters to mitigate this impact. The presenters will be utilizing a cultural humility framework of openness and curiosity throughout the presentation.
Relationships are similar to organisms in the sense that they are dynamic and influenced by the socio environmental sphere they inhabit. We live in a world that is in a constant state of flux. Every day, we experience major global events that shape our worldviews and impact our daily lives and social interactions.
The impact is often reflected in the quality and quantity of our dyadic interactions with our significant others. The most recent evidence of such an impact was clearly illustrated in how the pandemic and political schism affected relationship vulnerability and increased the potential for infidelity behaviors.
It’s hard to ignore all the chaos we are currently experiencing as a nation. Between the stresses of living through global pandemic lockdowns, political and racial polarization, the struggle to feel connected has reached a point of extreme difficulty. And, this is the case specifically for therapists.
As therapists living through these chaotic events, we often find ourselves anxious while seeing persons of color. Some the anxieties stem from fear of being called a racist or insensitive on a particular issue.
As a therapist myself, we are meant to encourage our patients to speak up, advocate for themselves and to be honest about their true feelings on various personal topics. When it comes to navigating differences and commonalities, we are unprepared and ill-equipped to question and/or answer such pressing matters on the topic of race. This leaves therapists feeling confused and in need of guidance; as an African-American therapist, I found that addressing these matters head-on provides trust, harmony and a deeper connection with the client.
