reducing stigma and discrimination

The STAIR model is a skills-focused approach designed to develop and strengthen emotion regulation, interpersonal skills while promoting resiliency. Participants will address how “loss” shows up in trauma survivors, and it will enhance skill building resources to provide “safety” for clients. With a Critical Race Theory lens, participants will further examine how prejudice and complex injustice further perpetuates trauma in the media, law, and access to resources of care and healing.

In today’s rapidly evolving care landscape, mental health professionals are increasingly being called upon to respond to the unique needs of racialized, newcomer, and equity-denied groups. Traditional trauma treatment models often overlook the lived realities of systemic oppression, racial trauma, and cultural displacement, leaving gaps in care and trust. This training addresses that critical gap.
