SUMMARY:Indigenous Wisdoms in Practice: Land-Based Tools for Wellness - 6 CE Credits
DESCRIPTION:Abstract				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									While the field of psychology continues to move toward greater cultural sensitivity\, research\, education\, and practice remain grounded primarily in dominant Euro-Western approaches. Such approaches perpetuate colonial narratives and practices in assessment\, diagnosis\, conceptualization\, and treatment\, limiting clinical effectiveness with Indigenous people. This workshop draws on community-based Indigenous research and national reports\, engaging attendees in understanding how they may better serve Indigenous people from Indigenous perspectives. Participants will learn how to begin restor(y)ing colonial narratives of pathology using Indigenous counter narratives of survivance\, resilience\, resistance\, and resurgence that move Indigenous people and communities toward individual and collective wellness\, balance\, and harmony. This workshop will engage attendees in considering how they may transform their work through applying a medicine bundle framework that incorporates community-based perspectives on best practices that are based in love\, good relationships\, Indigenous knowledges\, living a good life\, responsibility\, identity\, and belonging\, and land. Land-based Indigenous approaches to psychotherapy and complex trauma work will be introduced\, including how to bring an “all my relations\,” land-based\, strength-based\, culturally responsive\, holistic\, and historically sensitive approach to therapeutic work through the application of Indigenous ways of knowing\, being\, and doing. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					Intended Audience				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n									Professionals working in direct service provision that involves case conceptualization\, assessment\, diagnosis\, treatment planning\, and/or intervention.
