This workshop is aimed at (prospective) counselors working in the context of community-based anti-racism counseling. This module of the basic training program focuses on theoretical and practical approaches to the topic of violence in counseling contexts. It addresses both the historical context and provides foundational knowledge on victimization and secondary victimization. Specifically, it examines the role of trauma in anti-racism counseling. Through various methods and exercises, participants are invited to acquire and expand their knowledge and reflect on their counseling work using concrete practical examples. The following questions, among others, will be addressed:
- What is violence? What is racism-specific violence?
- How is this connected to colonial-racist ways of thinking and their persistence in National Socialism today?
- What is meant by victimization and secondary victimization?
- What experiences of victims/affected individuals exist in the context of counseling on racist violence and discrimination?
- What do I need to consider regarding a trauma-sensitive approach to protect those seeking advice and myself as a counselor?
The workshop is designed to be easily accessible and participatory.
Participation in this basic module is one of the mandatory prerequisites for obtaining the certificate for consultants in community-based anti-racism counseling.
