ASK YOURSELF...

  • Are you tired of the same old multi-cultural training style?
  • Do you have a systematic way of identifying your personal biases?
  • What do you do when your patient uses racial slurs? Homophobic statements? Sexist language?
  • What do you do if your colleague or co-worker uses language that you find offensive?
  • How do you manage your personal values and beliefs in a highly politically charged culture?
  • How do you navigate issues of culture and bias in supervision?
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Even for the most seasoned, well-intentioned practitioner, cultural factors (i.e., political views, gender identity, nationality, etc.) are likely to elicit reactivity. Culture is fluid and is constantly changing; therefore we as practitioners need a systematic approach to mitigating our biases and identifying our blind spots.  In other words, a sophisticated, concise, and action-oriented approach to cultural competency is vital.  This training is geared toward practitioners who strive to provide optimal and meaningful care to patients.  This training moves beyond traditional cultural competency approaches by providing a concrete, easy to access approach to identifying and managing cultural reactivity while working in a fast-paced setting.
