Case Presentations

Case presentations are an excellent opportunity for you to get information, resources, or support regarding any clients or clinical issues in your practice related to the areas of race or racism. In the spirit of our “gracious space,” you will be supported in exploring ways to effectively negotiate the specific issues related to your case.

Choose any cases in which there is a clinical issue related to cultural identity, race, or racism. For instance, you may present a cross-cultural counseling case in which you are working with a client from a different race, and you would like some support in navigating the identity dynamics. Or you may present a case regarding an individual who has experienced racial trauma, and you are looking for tools and resources for this person. Lastly, you can think more broadly about your racial identity and explore how it may be impacting a particular client or clinical relationship. Sky’s the limit. Just make sure that culture, race, or racism is somehow involved.

We use a structured format to identify the key racial issues in your case and strategies for effectively addressing them. We ask that you write a case summary based on this format. Full sentences are not necessary for your written summary. Bullet points are fine. Please keep HIPPA requirements in mind and only disclose information required for consultation.
