Re-Imagining Mental Health
In this community building exercise, participants will explore an alternative, inclusive, and diverse way to re-imagine, and re-organize, the broad encompassing field of mental health. Starting from a place of disorder, Derrick will be re-organizing mental health while considering the intersections of history, individual development, relationships, and social context. Participants will gain a broader understanding of mental health while moving towards their own pragmatic and sensible therapeutic approach.
As a result of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Learn about the history of race, power, and mental health in the United States.
2. Describe affective development within individual and relation systems.
3. Describe the value and utility of imagination.
Moving Towards and Beyond: Re-Discovering the Utility of Ourselves as Providers
Current systems of power influence and direct mental health disorders’ diagnostic formulation as well as utility and processes, to include treatment guidelines and systemic protocols. This community building opportunity seeks to move from empirical, quantitative, and economically driven systems of diagnosis and treatment toward relational, developmental, and healing-driven systems of treatment. We hope to use group discussion and clinical examples to demonstrate the influence of noticing human developmental and relational processes as simply that: human. This training will utilize small and large group discussions and visual displays.
