The Therapist Sets The Tone: Using A Cultural Wealth Model To Inform Racial Trauma Training

  • Connesia Handford

摘要

Racial trauma is often not addressed within trauma informed training, leaving lived experiences overlooked and untreated in many therapy settings. This article introduces the adaptation of Dr. Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) model to guide the professional development of therapists as they integrate racial trauma support into their clinical practice. The cultural capitals that make up this model (aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, and resistance), when considered through a clinical lens, can be used to conceptualize salient questions and discussion points to process a client’s experiences and honor their unique strengths and stressors. This article explores how the CCW model can be used to gather information, conceptualize treatment, and intentionally create space in the therapy room for racialized experiences to be appropriately validated and addressed.
