Healing the Wounds of Racial Trauma: Practical Tools for Collective Liberation is a virtual training led by Simone Donaldson, a respected therapist and speaker known for her expertise in racial trauma and liberation-centered care. This workshop offers clinicians a rare opportunity to gain practical, trauma-informed strategies rooted in cultural humility and Africentric care models. Grounded in over 15 years of Simone’s clinical and lived experience, this session is designed to transform how therapists support racialized clients.
Participants will engage with real-life case studies, group discussions, and guided self-reflection to strengthen their ability to recognize, conceptualize, and treat racial trauma. Techniques will include culturally adapted CBT, attachment-informed interventions, body-based practices, and the Narrative Therapy Tree of Life model. The training also introduces the Love Lens framework—a relational approach that deepens therapeutic connection through compassion, curiosity, and cultural responsiveness.
By the end of the training, professionals will be equipped to create safer, more affirming therapeutic spaces that help clients move beyond survival and toward healing, pride, and collective liberation. Attendees will leave with practical tools, a deeper awareness of systemic impacts on mental health, and a commitment to culturally humble, trauma-informed practice.
NOTE: Tuition includes one free CE Certificate (participant will be able to print the certificate of completion after passing the online post-test (80% passing score) and completing the evaluation). Instructional methods will include PowerPoint, didactic lecture, and others.
