Course Syllabus
Course Objective: There is little research done on the effects of Marianismo on emotional wellness. This course will discuss the data around health disparities in Latina women and how colonialism, machismo and religion has historically contributed to women’s role in Marianismo and as a mother. We will discuss how Marianismo in our lineage may come up subconsciously within us and gain awareness and coping tools for this phenomenon.
This course considers the intergenerational experience and traumatic impacts of colonialism and patriarchy on mothers and how that impacts their connection with their children. This course is taught with a lens centered around the often unspoken impacts of Machismo in Latinidad.
Learning Objectives:
Increase the awareness of the effects of colonialism and patriarchy on our nervous system.
Provide common language for clinicians to identify intergenerational patterns in families.
Gain personal awareness and coping skills as a Latine clinician serving Latine families.
Outcomes;
1.Participants will be able to identify 3 ways Marianismo has impacted intergenerational healing.
2.Participants will increase their knowledge of epigenetic evolution and ways to use family history as a reference point for resiliency.
3.Participants will be able to identify 2 ways inherited machismo and marianismo impacts the mental and physical health of Latina mothers.
4. Participants will be able to identify legacy burdens and support ancestral healing as a tool for client wellness.
