Reimagining Strength: Deconstructing the Strong Black Woman

Title:
Reimagining Strength: Deconstructing the "Strong Black Woman" Archetype, strategies and skills for Professional Counselors
Presenter: Portia Allie-Turco, PhD
Description:
The "Strong Black Woman" stereotype portrays Black women as resilient, self-sacrificing, and able to withstand adversity without showing vulnerability. While seemingly positive, this archetype is detrimental and reinforces expectations that undermine mental health and overall well-being. Black women have leading rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and maternal and infant mortality. The Black Strong Black Woman stereotype camouflages mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunction. It is implicated in disparate treatment in educational, employment, health, and judicial systems. In this presentation, participants will learn conceptualization and treatment strategies that center on neurobiology, historical trauma, and relational cultural healing. Participants will identify how frame treatment within a social justice lens and equip counselors with strategies to recognize and address the complexities of the "Strong Black Woman" stereotype in therapeutic settings.
