Description

Prior to the workshop, participants are encouraged to watch Disney’s Encanto.  

This presentation will look at therapeutic strategies drawing from the characters from the movie Encanto. Encanto is a fun-loving and witty movie with catchy music that has touched our hearts. However, the film’s story and characters are examples of intergenerational trauma and its rippling effects. In addition to examining the effects of trauma exhibited in the film, participants will identify strategies that can be used in different counseling situations, such as individual, family, and group sessions.       

 

This workshop is in accordance with and compliance with the NASW Standards with a focus on service, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, competence, and social workers’ ethical responsibilities to clients, in practice settings, as professionals, to the social work profession, to the broader society. 

This workshop is in compliance with the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners’ COMAR 10.42.03.06.A(5) and with the District of Columbia Board of Social Work 17-70-7008.4.
