About The Training

Anti-Blackness and Trans antagonism are both large issues in the American landscape. Because of this, it is important that mental health workers know definitions of these terms, the history of them in the mental health field, and how they can go about providing exceptional care to both Black and Trans patients, service-users, and clients.

In this training, award-winning author and cultural worker KB Brookins will guide participants through these very things — while discussing the similarities between both demographics’ plights. This training aims to educate and galvanize mental health workers to stop the legacy of mistreatment of Black and Trans people and work towards a field that is accessible to all.
