This training will focus on increasing the cultural competence of behavioral health professionals to improve the quality of care provided to clients from culturally diverse backgrounds. This training will identify oppressive clinical practices that harm clients and recognize clinical discomfort. Participants will learn to go beyond a textbook approach by being present with individuals and will learn to implement modernized approaches to complement existing models that assist culturally diverse communities (e.g. refugees, immigrants) in rebuilding protective factors and healing systems that lead toward better mental health outcomes. Participants will also learn about the multidimensional factors that influence culture and about the detrimental influence of society’s dominant culture(s) that refuel and empower dominant groups by disempowering marginalized groups.
