D16 Intergenerational Trauma and Its Impact on African American and/or Black Families
Sidney Caldwell; Caleb Hervey
The Engagement Phase in Wraparound serves as the
foundation for all other work that occurs in treatment. This is why it is
incredibly important to build a successful rapport with youth and families
during this time. Having an understanding of the cultural needs of a family
will encourage open and honest communication with the team; yielding successful
treatment outcomes. This workshop will focus on contextualizing behavioral;
relational and ecological needs of African American and/or black families by
highlighting the unique history of this population and integrating this
knowledge into the Wraparound process.
