Living Brown, Living Well
We can Live Brown and Live Well! Lessons from Chicanx Psychology can help DECOLONIZE the ideas of “wellness” that are dominantly Eurocentric, Western, and individualistic. Chicanx Psychology emphasizes the healthy, positive cultural values and behaviors that contribute to our wellness and mental health. We will draw from knowledge of our ancestral past as well as our current wisdom.

Power of Stories to Heal
In this workshop platica, we will discuss ways to recognize the healing power of stories by bringing forth the wisdom and strengths in our personal and family stories to re-shape painful stories. We will incorporate aspects of Narrative Therapy with our framework of a Chicanx Psychology/Worldview to explore applied ways of re-storying our experiences in ways that affirm our cultural identity and legacies. c/s
