  During this experiential session, participants will learn about the fundamentals of liberation psychology, and how indigenous practices can provide therapeutic tools for healing through liberation. Specifically, participants will learn about indigenous healing practices through activities, discussions, and exploration of their interests in these practices, and how to integrate these practices into their own clinical work.  

  Learning objectives:

  1) Participants will be able to list culturally-responsive ways to explore the integration of indigenous healing into their clinical practice.

  2) Participants will be able to identify their interests in indigenous healing practices.

  3) Participants will be able to identify at least two indigenous healing practices.
