Registration

It is often difficult for any of us to make ourselves vulnerable to practice Cultural Humility in a meaningful way.  It is hard for us to acknowledge the assumptions we may unwittingly rely on.  To mitigate this challenge, we strip shame and judgment from the learning process to encourage honest and transparent participation.  This workshop is an opportunity for attendees to begin to learn the challenging, self-reflective work of practicing Cultural Humility.  By developing the skills of Cultural Humility, they have a stronger understanding of how to work with people from marginalized communities and have the skills to deliver higher quality, more accessible services.  Participant often feel that they already know about bias and oppression and therefore do not need to fully engage.  To overcome that challenge, we universalize bias and prejudice.  Consequently, we ALL, without exceptions, have to work on these issues.  We must all be mindful of the assumptions and biases that may, consciously or unconsciously, impact the ways in which we engage clients and colleagues. If left unchecked, those assumptions and biases may negatively affect our service provision when we work with those of another gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual identity, social class etc.

Objectives:

  • Define the distinction between Cultural Humility and Cultural Competency
  • Develop the ability to begin the process of internalizing Cultural Humility practices
  • To identify how a Cultural Humility framework may be utilized to strategically enhance service provision

Cost:  LCPCM members - $40/Non-members - $60 ($5.00 fee for all refunds)
CEUs: 2    (10am to noon)

Registration limited to 150!  

Registration will end Dec 2nd at 11:59pm
