To learn more about this topic, Praeclarus Press is offering a webinar on February 26, 2015 from 1-2 p.m. (Eastern) for the webinar, Depression is Black!
In Depression is Black!, presenter Jessica Walker will discuss the various ways to cultivate a relationship with African American clients, learning strategies for working with clients patients who come from another cultural background, and how to get African American clients to open up to receive the help they need. Ms. Walker will discuss the history of the African American community, how members specifically deal with stress, and how to incorporate that knowledge into effective treatment.
