Free Clinical Training for Psyhotherapists of Color
Psychotherapists of color (PsyOC) have been historically, and are presently underrepresented in the fields of psychology and social work. This underrepresentation means there are not enough PsyOC to fulfill the mental health needs of clients of color. PsyOC also tend to have less post-graduate clinical training than their white counterparts. This is where LOVS steps in. LOVS will create a pilot program that provides free, trauma-focused clinical training to associate and licensed PsyOC, as well as practicum students.
