COURSE DESCRIPTION
This on-demand podcast CE course explores the impact of election stress on individuals and communities, with a focus on how it can affect people from all backgrounds, including those from both marginalized and non-marginalized groups. Dr. Sangeeta Prasad discusses the physiological and psychological effects of tense political climates, offering insights into how clinicians can support clients in navigating the complexities of identity, power dynamics, fear, and cultural representation, with a particular emphasis on people who have been historically minoritized. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of stress in shaping mental health and provides strategies to help clients across diverse experiences regulate their nervous systems, develop positive identities, and cope with societal divisions.
