The First Avenger: Captain America and How to Integrate His Story
About this Training
He is the first Avenger, and the reason that any of the stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe come together. Throughout the films, Steve Roger, AKA Captain America, is seen as a beacon of leadership and a nearly perfect example of what a human being can be. However, Captain America himself has faced some unique and difficult challenges throughout the films, issues that mental health professionals may see mirrored in some of those they work with. In this training we will look to provide an outline and analysis of the story and major mental health themes of Steve Rogers within the MCU. In addition to this, we will discuss the practical therapeutic implications of Steve Rogers/Captain America and how one may integrate themes of the character into a mental health setting.
