ASPsi and the CHN Work to Establish Emotional Emancipation Circles in Ferguson, December 5th and 6th
There is an urgent need for healing in and around Ferguson--healing from the trauma of the killing of Michael Brown, the trauma of the struggle for justice, and the historical trauma of racism. The Emotional Emancipation (EE) Circle is a strategy developed by the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) and Community Healing Network (CHN) to help Black people heal from the trauma caused by the lie of Black inferiority--the root cause of the devaluing of the lives of Black people in Ferguson and around the world.
ABPsi and the Community Healing Network (CHN) are working together to establish a global network of Emotional Emancipation (EE) Circles—self-help groups focused on emotional emancipation, healing, and wellness for Black people. EECs are designed to help people of African ancestry in the US and throughout the diaspora to Defy the Lie of the Myth of Black Inferiority. We now have an EEC Toolkit, EEC Workbook, and EEC Training of Trainers curriculum developed by members of The ABPsi board, membership and CHN. A principal goal of EE Circles is to create the conditions for shared dialogue that lead to individual and collective emotional emancipation, healing, and wellness. This healing process is designed to break down the social and psychological fences that separate us. EE Circles lay the groundwork for a much-needed rebuilding of family and community relational ties and mutual support, and can pave the way to ending a host of social problems and disparities. The training will be led by international healers Dr. Cheryl Tawede Grills and Dr. Anelle Primm.
Participants must attend one of the workshops on December 5th or 6th, which will take you through an example of the EEC community healing process, and then attend the Training of Trainers on Saturday, December 6th, 2-6pm, in which you will learn how to establish an EE Circle in Ferguson and surrounding communities.
