Brief Program Description

According to Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child, "Every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult." Unfortunately for Black children, many barriers prevent authentic, healing relationships to develop with adults who are supposed to help them. During this session, the presenter will explore the historical context and current barriers that affect Black children. Lastly, participants will learn strategies on how to overcome those barriers to best serve Black children therapeutically.
