Workshop Description:

In order to be effective, we as counselors have the responsibility to gain further knowledge on how the Glass Ceiling” of business and politics effects Women of Color mentally and physically. Even though change is occurring, and ‘Glass Ceilings” are being broken Women of Color often do not make it through without cuts and bruises. Often those going through the rise to power show signs of stress, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, struggles with self-esteem, and broken relationships.

In this presentation, Dr. Moore Reynolds will assist mental health providers in determining the best practices to provide continued support to clients who are Women of Color going through the process of shattering the Glass Ceiling, while also discussing how counselors can further assist in the fight for workplace equality.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the program participants will be able to:

1. Identify clients that are struggling with a “Glass Ceiling” in their work environment.
