Applying The Empowerment Curriculum Model to Benefit Clients

Enroll in the Online Self-Study course and complete it at your own pace.
1.5 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians upon completion.

When clients appear “high functioning” yet quietly remain in survival mode, traditional approaches often miss the hidden wounds that block true healing. The Empowerment Curriculum Model reframes the help-seeking relationship, equipping clinicians to foster real empowerment—not just symptom management.

Through this course, you’ll be invited to step beyond standard evaluation frameworks and into a model that minimizes barriers to engagement, strengthens the practitioner–client partnership, and leads to sustainable wellness outcomes.

Dr. Rosenna Bakari, PhD, is a psychologist and empowerment expert whose career spans drug recovery counseling, counselor education, and international advocacy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She developed her eight-week empowerment curriculum to reimagine the client’s role in healing and has presented on these approaches at national conferences, including the American Counseling Association.

Dr. Bakari’s approach is both practical and deeply client-centered: she blends structured curriculum with flexible attunement, guiding clients to depersonalize pain, uncover hidden narratives, and design their own blueprint for empowered living. Clinicians will walk away with a replicable model they can apply across diverse client populations.

In this 1.5-hour self-study course, you’ll explore the structure and philosophy of the Empowerment Curriculum Model. Topics include: barriers to traditional counseling and how to reduce them; reframing the practitioner’s role from expert evaluator to collaborative partner; defense mechanisms and attachment as gateways to empowerment; strategies for depersonalization and building self-awareness; integration of compatible wellness practices; and practical ways to adapt the eight modules of the curriculum into your own clinical setting.
