Whole Families, Whole Healing: Healing Justice-Involved Families Through Trauma-Informed Support
Facilitators: Alexis Lacy
Location: Virtual
1.5 Hr CEs (NBCC)
Cost: $75
This presentation explores the need for trauma-informed, identity-aware approaches to supporting families that are justice involved —particularly Black families disproportionately affected by the justice system. Incarceration is a traumatic experience for both the individual and their family creating long-lasting impacts. These impacts are further compounded by race-based, gendered, and systemic trauma, making trauma informed and culturally relevant support essential for long-term successful outcomes. Participants will gain insight into how practitioners can shift their approach to center healing, dignity, and cultural relevance. We will share methods and practical tools that empower families and communities to advocate for their loved ones during and after incarceration—especially those living with behavioral health challenges. The session will also highlight the role of community-led strategies in promoting long-term wellness and successful reentry. From peer support networks and reentry navigators to the radical power of rest and community care, we will examine how these collective, trauma-informed efforts foster generational healing.
Objectives:
1. Highlighting the need for trauma-informed and identity-aware healing approaches for practitioners. Examine how incarceration impacts Black families across generations, and why trauma-informed, culturally grounded approaches are essential for addressing the unique experiences of race-based, gendered, and systemic trauma during and after incarceration.
2. Sharing methods for empowering families and communities with tools for advocacy and navigation both during and after incarceration for long-term healing. Provide families and support networks with practical knowledge and tools to navigate the justice system, advocate for loved ones—especially those with behavioral health needs—and maintain critical connections that support long-term healing and restoration.
3. Promoting community-led, sustainable reentry, and wellness models that lead to successful reentry outcomes and generational healing. Emphasize the power of peer support, reentry navigators, community care, and rest as resistance in promoting wellness. Explore how collective care, informed by trauma and cultural context, creates conditions for successful reentry and generational healing.

Facilitators: Rachael DuBose
Location: Virtual
3 Hr CEs (NBCC)
Cost: $150
Supervision is more than compliance—it is a sacred space for reflection, resilience-building, and human connection. Brave Space Supervision is a trauma-informed, culturally responsive model designed to foster emotionally safe learning environments for clinicians and trainees. As trauma-informed care expands across systems, supervisory practices must also evolve by centering humanity, relational safety, and critical consciousness in every interaction. In this training, participants will explore core principles of trauma-informed supervision—safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment—and examine how these principles intersect with culturally affirming and relational models. Attention will be given to the impact of rupture and repair, power dynamics, emotional labor, and cultural identity in shaping supervisory relationships. Through real-world examples and reflective dyads, attendees will learn strategies to hold space with intention, attune to unspoken wounds, and cultivate resilience within the supervisory process.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: Define emotional safety in the context of clinical supervision and identify its key components.
Examine how cultural identity, power dynamics, and trauma histories shape the supervision experience.

Messy, Painful, Necessary: Collective Healing Beyond the Therapy Room
Facilitators: Danielle McDowell, LPC
Location: Virtual
2 Hr CEs (NBCC)
Cost: $100
Trauma lives in bodies, families, communities, institutions, and cultural memory. Yet trauma-informed care is too often confined to treatment plans and clinical settings. This workshop reimagines healing beyond the therapy room, engaging in the collective, often difficult, work of transformation. Led by Licensed Professional Counselor, TEDx speaker, and women’s coach Danielle L. McDowell, this session expands trauma-informed care through a culturally responsive, identity-centered lens. Drawing on community healing circles, expressive arts, and racial justice consulting, Danielle highlights liberatory and embodied practices rooted in Black and Brown traditions of collective care. Participants will learn to integrate creative, somatic, and relational practices with individuals, couples, and groups, centering humanity—not pathology—in trauma responses. This training supports clinicians, community organizers, educators, and healing practitioners in holding space for grief, resistance, and renewal, while honoring resilience grounded in presence, connection, and radical honesty.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: Identify and describe at least three collective or community-based healing practices that support trauma recovery beyond traditional therapy settings.
Apply culturally responsive, identity-centered strategies when working with clients from historically marginalized communities experiencing trauma.

Cycles of Care: Menstruation, Mental Health, and Healing
Facilitators: Jasmine Price, LPC-S, LPC
3 Hr CEs (NBCC)

Describe how cycle education supports emotional awareness and intergenerational healing, including at least one strategy for engaging caregivers and youth.

Soul Care: Considerations & Wellness-Centered Strategies for Clinicians of Color
Facilitators: Dr. PaQuita Pullen
1.5 Hr CEs (NBCC)
Cost: $75
Clinicians of Color are faced with unique challenges such as discrimination,marginalization, and exclusion. These experiences are being managed inaddition to their clinical work as mental health professionals and healers. Many of these experiences are limited or avoided altogether in traditionalconversations on self-care, leaving Clinicians of Color vulnerable to psychological distress such as burnout.
Engaging in decolonized practices that support the well-being for BIPOC clinicians is essential for two key reasons: retention and adherence to ethical practices. Absenteeism is a potential negative consequence of burnout which poses as a problem because Clinicians of Color can improve access and care for BIPOCindividuals, are more likely to engage in research relevant to BIPOC populations, and are more likely to facilitate multicultural competentconversations. Furthermore, Clinicians of Color have an ethical responsibility to monitor themselves for impairment as identified in the ACACode of Ethics.
This presentation seeks to examine 2-3 stressors specific to BIPOC clinicians along with effective and culturally congruent strategies to address them. This presentation will be experiential and dynamic in nature! Reserve Your Seat
