ABSTRACT American Indians and other Indigenous groups face numerous traumas resulting from civil rights infractions. Often, these infractions began in historical contexts and continue into modern experiences. The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and subsequent activist response at Standing Rock are a prime example of how movements asserting human rights are met with resistance from dominant majority groups. Generally, this resistance turns violent as police and security responses from the dominant culture escalate despite the peaceful nature of demonstrations. This impacts mental health among oppressed populations. As #NoDAPL progressed, Indigenous psychologists felt moved to “Stand with Standing Rock” by supporting Water Protectors in need of trauma services. This was met with institutional and systemic barriers to treatment and lack of support from key professional organizations. This article addresses barriers faced by mental health professionals providing services on the frontlines and lists potential resolutions including the development of a crisis response team, infrastructure for communication with individuals onsite, culturally congruent healing, community-building, and prayer. The article serves as a case study for trauma provision among American Indian communities in crisis and is a reminder of the resilience and empowerment that occurs when Indigenous peoples from all over the world come together for a shared cause. This case study format can be a guiding example for service providers choosing to take a stand with marginalized communities asserting social change.

当心理学家表明立场时:美国印第安人社区创伤应对服务和宣传的障碍

摘要 美国印第安人和其他土著群体因侵犯民权而面临无数创伤。通常,这些违规行为始于历史背景,并延续到现代经历中。Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) 和随后在 Standing Rock 的活动家回应是主张人权的运动如何遭到占主导地位的多数群体抵制的典型例子。一般来说,尽管示威活动是和平性质的,但随着来自主流文化的警察和安全部门的反应升级,这种抵抗会变成暴力。这会影响受压迫人群的心理健康。随着#NoDAPL 的进展,土著心理学家通过支持需要创伤服务的水保护者,感受到了“站稳脚跟”的感动。这遇到了治疗的体制和系统障碍,并且缺乏关键专业组织的支持。本文解决了在前线提供服务的精神卫生专业人员所面临的障碍,并列出了可能的解决方案,包括危机应对团队的发展、与现场个人沟通的基础设施、文化上一致的治疗、社区建设和祈祷。这篇文章作为美国印第安社区在危机中提供创伤的案例研究,提醒人们当来自世界各地的土著人民为了共同的事业而聚集在一起时所产生的韧性和赋权。这种案例研究格式可以成为服务提供商选择与主张社会变革的边缘化社区站在一起的指导性示例。
