SUMMARY:Holding Hope: Advancing Justice-Centered and Community-Rooted Mental Health for Marginalized Children
DESCRIPTION:In the face of structural violence\, racial trauma\, and systemic inequities\, professionals supporting children’s mental health often ask: How do we keep doing this work with integrity\, justice\, and hope—without becoming overwhelmed or disconnected from our purpose? This presentation moves beyond foundational knowledge to explore the next phase of justice-centered mental health care: collective\, culturally grounded action. Building upon social determinants of health and Kenneth Hardy’s model of healing racial trauma\, this session centers children from historically marginalized communities and offers actionable\, community-rooted strategies to deepen healing and foster resilience. Attendees will engage with practical tools\, culturally responsive interventions\, and community-based models that shift the work from individual to collective care. This session aims to sustain practitioners with tools that not only support children and families—but also nurture the professional’s own healing and engagement in the work through a framework of radical hope and co-regulation. \nCost: $50 if for CE Credit; $30 for no CE Credit \nWilliam James College faculty\, staff\, and alumni are eligible for enrollment discount codes.  \nWilliam James College students attend this program at no cost with discount code.  \nFor any questions or to receive the discount code\, please contact us at: ce@williamjames.edu \n\n\n\nClick here for more information or to register for this continuing education program.
