2 CE credits
This is a LIVE Workshop Only (No Recordings)
This introductory-level workshop begins with an informative overview of key concepts in antiracist clinical practice, including definitions of race, prejudice, discrimination, racism, and antiracism. It also explores the similarities and differences between the following concepts: (1) Cultural Competence, (2) Cultural Humility, and (3) Culturally Responsive. This workshop assists clinicians in identifying vocabulary for their approach to working with socially and culturally diverse clients. In addition, participants consider the ethical responsibilities of therapists concerning race, racism, and social justice. Clinicians engage in critical self-exploration, in which they explore their own biases as therapists. Finally, participants identify the racial issues they are most comfortable addressing as therapists and the topics about which they remain silent.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course participants will be able to:
1. Compare the concepts of cultural competence and cultural humility
2. Discuss how cultural biases may influence clinical behavior
3. Assess one way in which social justice relates to one’s clinical practice of psychotherapy
Educational Goals
1. Explore how the concepts of cultural humility, social justice and anti-racism are components of culturally responsive counseling.
2. Increase personal self-awareness of biases that may impact one’s clinical practice with socially and culturally diverse communities.
