The presentation will provide tools and evidence based methods for engaging the African American community at three levels of service, (Individual, Family and Community).
While the salient symptoms of disease and distress in individuals are for the most part applicable across cultures, this is not always the case. Additionally, many people of color particularly African Americans, do not seek out health assistance. National trends in health revealed that many ethnic groups lacked knowledge about many health issues and were generally distrustful of European American health providers. Many were reluctant to reveal health issues fearing that they would be negatively stigmatized or harmed by those from whom they were seeking help. This course/presentation provides evidence based methods and approaches for engaging African American children, youth and adults.
Learning Objectives
1. Select and apply strategies to enhance empowerment for African American populations at risk, and to promote economic and social justice.
2. Analyze relevant concepts of the Relationship Approach and the Philosophical Aspect of cultural difference as a basis for understanding the reasons African American individuals and families behave the way they do within their social/cultural environments.
3. Describe how to involve community residents, professionals, and family members in change strategies aimed at policy and organizational change.
4. Apply trauma theory and literature for relevance in working with people of color.
5. Assess the role that social learning theory and learned helplessness has played in the adaptive behaviors of African Americans.
