This beginner-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 (1) Cultural Competence, (2) Cultural Humility and (3) Culturally Responsive.
Additionally, 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.
This introductory-level workshop builds cultural awareness, one of the core competencies of culturally responsive counseling. This workshop defines key concepts related to cultural awareness including, intersectionality, privilege, marginalization, social identity, and power. This interactive workshop invites participants to explore their intersecting identities utilizing Pamela Hays’ ADDRESSING model and then map their shifting locations as part of marginalized and privileged communities. The workshop then considers the practice of personal disclosure of identity as part of psychological practice, and ethical considerations. Finally, tangible ways to establish and maintain professional practices that build their cultural awareness are offered for life-long learning and professional development.
