When a Chinese-American police officer kills an innocent, unarmed Black man in a darkened stairwell of a New York City housing project, it sets off a firestorm of emotion and calls for accountability. When he becomes the first NYPD officer convicted of an on-duty shooting in over a decade, the fight for justice becomes complicated, igniting one of the largest Asian-American protests in history, disrupting a legacy of solidarity, and putting an uneven legal system into sharp focus.
REPARATIONS explores the four-century struggle to seek repair and atonement for slavery in the United States. Black and Asian Americans reflect on the legacy of slavery, the inequities that persists, and the critical role that solidarity between communities has in acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in America.
How can we help provide lasting healing for clients who have had narratives of oppression imposed upon them, and who have come to believe that they are “less than?” In this webinar replay, renowned Narrative Therapist, Travis Heath, joins Psychotherapy.net Editor, Lawrence Rubin, to demonstrate how to move clients beyond these painful and destructive narratives by elevating them to the level of experts in their own lives, uncovering their strengths of moral character, and helping them build counter-stories that are grounded in hope, power, and agency.
You’ll be challenged to question the traditionally limiting notions of multiculturalism and consider the counter-belief that therapy can and should be an act of rebellion, both for clinician and client. Heath will teach you to invite a spirit of adventure into your own work by moving away from a narrow focus on the client’s internal state, to how they have been impacted by larger systems, especially those of oppression and discrimination.
