Based on the New Harbinger book Stand Up, Speak Up, and Heal — co-authored by three BIPOC licensed clinicians — this training gives you the clinical framework, DBT skills, and liberation-centered lens to support BIPOC clients navigating the daily toll of racial stress and trauma.
The problem
Your BIPOC clients aren't just managing anxiety or depression. They're managing a world that regularly misunderstands, invalidates, or actively harms them.
Race-based traumatic stress is cumulative, systemic, and somatic — and most clinical training doesn't address it directly. That leaves you reaching for tools that weren't built with your client in mind.
This training changes that.

Questions about the training
Is this training approved for CEUs?
We are currently pending approval of CEUs. Will update as soon as we receive approval.

Is this training only for BIPOC clinicians?
All clinicians who work with BIPOC clients are welcome. The training is rooted in BIPOC clinical expertise and centers the needs of BIPOC clients. White clinicians are encouraged to come with humility and a commitment to ongoing learning and allyship.
Will there be a recording?
No. This is an in-person, live training.
