Is Legal Always Ethical? Trauma informed Systems Through the Lens of Critical Race Theory

The workshop will address the legal and ethical challenges related to providing trauma informed services from a context of critical race theory and structural barriers.  How do systems and administrative approaches that are antithetical to trauma informed work impact clinical efforts to become trauma informed and address the trauma-related contexts of client populations? Challenges to be explored include intake processes that are inherently traumatizing, funder requirements that are not trauma informed, and the necessity to intervene in situations where there are not enough resources and/or time to actually address trauma. Additionally, what is the value/efficacy of trauma informed services in the context of a racist milieu in which the client lives in a toxic traumatizing environment? How can we as social workers remain aware of, and not become numb to, the daily trauma of racism (and other isms) that we and our clients experience? And after awareness, then what?We will bring together the perspectives of clients, supervisors and administrators, and academics to discuss what is effective, the ways in which race impacts interactions, and a theoretical framework that can help us understand the challenges we are facing as well as possible solutions.  Licensure training providing 6 continuing education hours on Law and Ethics for LCSW's, LMFT's, and LPCC's.
