Presenters: Erica Cartledge, LICSW, LCSW and Allie Perez, LICSW, RPT

Encanto and Turning Red took us all by storm last year with catchy music and strong characters, but these movies continue to resonate deeply with clients of school-based clinicians both emotionally and culturally. In this session, we will build on our workshop during last year’s SSWA DC spring conference and continue to consider the many possible clinical applications of these movies for school-based work with children and adolescents. (Participation in last year’s session is not required for participants to participate in and benefit from this session.) We will build from a shared foundation of knowledge about intergenerational trauma, specifically exploring implications for communities of color, and then explore interventions based in talk, art, song, and play which participants will be able to use with child and adolescent clients immediately. 

This workshop is approved for 1.5 continuing education units by the DC Health Board of Social Work and the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners.
