1. African-Americans & the Mental Health Profession Perspectives for Social Workers

   More African-Americans are utilizing psychotherapy than ever before. Unfortunately, many continue to distrust and have disdain for these services. In large part this is due to the historic backdrop of racism and discrimination in this country, as well as a history of bias that has plagued the mental health profession itself. Learn the history of African-Americans in mental health treatment to better understand the possible concerns many have when seeking treatment. Explore cultural issues that hinder many professionals from helping this population, and learn ways to better serve it.

   This class qualifies for 3.00 Contact Hours approved by the Michigan Social Work Continuing Education Collaborative. For more information, visit Social Worker Professional Continuing Education.
