Play-Based Strategies to Address Racial Trauma in Latinx
Latinx youth spend their childhoods navigating negative race-based experiences due to systemic racism. The daily interaction with microaggressions, prejudice, discrimination, and racism can lead to race-based stress in these youth and, left untreated, evolve into racial trauma. This workshop will explore the signs of race-based stress and racial trauma in Latinx youth along with fun and creative interventions to apply in individual, group and family play therapy. Participants will leave this workshop with a better understanding of how to use play therapy in virtually any setting to help Latinx children and families address the stress of racial trauma in America.
Learning objectives:
1. Explore play therapy techniques to support Latinx youth through grief and loss during the process of assimilation/acculturation
2. Apply play therapy techniques to encourage racial and cultural pride in Latinx youth
