Course Description

This training will explore the current clinical climate in consideration of the social movement towards anti-racism. Participants will learn about building cultural safety with clients of color which places the responsibility on the clinician to actively create safety within professional relationships. The trainer will share tangible strategies for enhancing service delivery in the field of mental health. Strategies can be applied across various settings. Participants will be engaged in a process of self-exploration and goal-setting to integrate the information shared into practice.

In response to the nationwide acknowledgement of racism in America, clinicians across the county have been looking at ways they can engage in anti-racism work. Individual discovery is important. It’s equally important to look at our clinical approach when working with clients. Building cultural safety places the responsibility on the professional to create a safe space for prospective and current clients. This training will cover foundational knowledge as it relates to anti-racism work in clinical settings and walk participants though self-exploration to identify areas they want to improve to better serve people of color.

This training is mainly focused on providing culturally responsive services to clients of color. The information will include recent significant developments in the field of mental health. Strategies for direct and indirect client care will be shared that specifically related to the scope of practice for MFT’s, LCSW’s, LPCC, and/or LEP’s.

Educational Goals and Learning Objectives:

  • Describe cultural safety and its relation to anti-racism and other forms of cultural terms such as tolerance, awareness, competence, sensitivity, humility, and responsiveness.
