A Sacred Trust: Decolonizing Screening and Assessment
A Sacred Trust: Decolonizing Screening and Assessment
Course Description
The purpose of this on-demand course is to introduce participants to the presentation of decolonizing screening and assessment. For Tribal people on Turtle Island, current and past political and social events help shape the context of their lives in ways that many other Americans do not experience. Dr. Brown will discuss how the western psychological screening and assessment has left American Indian people without tools to adequately address psychological conditions. She will provide findings from a Tribal assessment; examples of Tribal screening and assessment; and present the concept of screening and assessment as a sacred trust. Participants will explore how to incorporate building sacred trust into their daily practices.
Launch Date: October 17, 2022
At the conclusion of the on-demand course, participants will be able to:
- Identify at least two (2) limitations of using Western psychological approaches in Tribal communities
- Explain at least two (2) elements of the definition of Indigenous Psychological Care
- Recognize at least two (2) skills to implement decolonial psychological approaches in their practice
- Specify at least three (3) findings about implementation from community interviews with policy and Tribal partners.
