Give Them a Voice! Expressive Arts Therapy a Pain Management Strategy for African American Women Living with Substance Use Disorders

<h2>Give Them a Voice!</h2><h2>Expressive Arts Therapy a Pain Management Strategy for African American Women Living with Substance Use Disorders</h2>&quot;Black women are also simultaneously affected by racism and sexism and may feel under pressure to hide their negative emotions lest they fall prey to the “angry Black woman” stereotype. Psychologists who work with this population say there is much to be done to improve the mental health of Black women, ranging from expanding access to licensed professionals with experience in treating people of color to reducing incidents of racism and microaggressions.&quot; (Pappas, 2021)Through a trauma-informed lens this workshop explores how the creative process of expressive arts can be used to manage pain and promote emotional growth and foster racial healing. Additionally, this workshop will review evidence of how expressive arts support social work&#x27;s ethical responsibility to clients and can be used as a tool to help clients set goals and advocate for themselves.The training has the following learning objectives:<ul><li>Define expressive arts and its five disciplines</li><li>Describe the connection between pain and emotions and how it can be used to reduce pain</li><li>Describe racial bias in pain management</li><li>Provide three examples of how expressive arts can be used to promote client’s self-determination and culturally competent social work practice</li><li>Explain how opioid misuse and related deaths are a public health crisis</li><li>Provide three examples of how a trauma-informed organization supports the NASW Code of Ethics</li></ul>Duration: 5.5 hoursTotal CE: 5Culture Competency CE: 2.5; Ethics CE: 2.5Content Level: IntermediateTarget Audience: Behavioral Health Service Providers and ManagementAgenda10:30Introductions and ground rulesWhat is pain and the mind-body connection11:30The intersection of racism, sexism, and cultural norms and its consequences on African American women’s health and mental healthAn overview of racial disparities in health care and behavioral healthcareAn overview of the history of the opioid epidemicRacial bias in pain management and the implications for the African American communityThe opioid epidemic and the black community12:30Best practices for serving African American women with substance use disordersAn overview of trauma informed services and its inherently equitable and inclusive process and supporting the NASW code of ethicsSpecial considerations for creating gender-responsive services in the continuum of care for substance use disordersThe ethical responsibility of cultural competency and self-determinationPower dynamics and the therapeutic process1:00The connection between emotions and painWhat is expressive arts – the theory and the practiceA historical perspective of expressive arts as a modality for healing and advocacy in the African American community1:30Break2:00 pmUnderstanding racial identity and the steps towards racial healingThe process of becoming a racial allyThe connection between self-expression and positive emotional growth2:45Expressive arts techniques3:15Activity and report out4:00TrainerEbony Davis – LEAD CONSULTANT AKA PROFESSIONAL PROBLEM SOLVERMs. Ebony Davis serves as our Lead Consultant and is dedicated to building pathways for disenfranchised communities to move up the social, political, and economic ladder.
