To My Fellow Mental Health Professionals:

Anxiety assessment requires more than symptom counts.

Comprehensive evaluation includes functioning, relational stress, somatic complaints, and cultural coping patterns.

Clinicians deserve training that reflects the realities of the clients they serve.

That’s the focus of this CE.

To My Fellow Mental Health Professionals:
Screening tools are helpful—but they are not enough.

Measures like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 track symptom severity, not functioning or cultural context.

Research suggests relying solely on these tools can lead to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of anxiety in Black women.

This CE explores culturally responsive assessment strategies that go beyond checklists.

CE ALERT!

To My Fellow Mental Health Professionals:

Cultural context matters in diagnosis.

Anxiety symptoms in Black women are often shaped by lived experiences of racism, sexism, and invisibility—yet these factors are rarely integrated into standard assessments.

This CE focuses on helping clinicians recognize and respond to anxiety with cultural humility and clinical accuracy.

CE ALERT!!
To My Fellow Mental Health Professionals:

“She’s doing well” is not the same as “she’s doing okay.”

The Strong Black Woman schema can mask anxiety symptoms and discourage disclosure—especially in professional or clinical settings.

Culturally responsive care requires us to look beyond resilience narratives and assess emotional load, functioning, and context.

This CE is designed to help clinicians do exactly that.
