The BIPOC Training Fellowship is an intensive internship training year for counseling and social work students of color*. The training program is a joint partnership between Creasman Counseling and Radical Healing and will take place on the Radical Healing campus.
Each year, two to six graduate students are invited to participate in the training fellowship. The fellowship program at Radical Healing trains clinicians to practice from an anti-oppression, anti-racist lens and from a social justice perspective. Trainees will use an integrated model of DBT, CBT and relational cultural model of care to support a diverse range of clients with marginalized identities, including folx from intersectional queer, trans and gnc identities. The fellowship includes opportunities for clinical supervision, peer supervision and group experience at Radical Healing and when available, a training stipend will be provided for the student to use towards a modality of their choosing. Past attendees have used their stipend to increase their training or certification in DBT, EMDR, CBT.
The internship fellowship is a paid experience. All contractors, interns, employees of Radical Healing receive at least a living wage.
Psychology (PhD) - APA-aligned internships are currently being explored - stay tuned!
*People of Color is a historical term referring to the shared experience of racism upon minoritized people from the African diaspora, Arabs/Middle Easterners, Latinx peoples, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, multiracial people, as well as immigrants and those whose native language is a source of oppression.
