White Therapist Privilege, 4 CE Cultural Competency Workshop

EBHA IPA

A 4 CE Cultural Competency workshop to help therapists engage with topics of white privilege and increase cultural humility and sensitivity.

White supremacy culture and the effects of White nationalism in the United States and globally necessitates the call for therapists to self-reflect on their understanding of these dynamics and their interplay with clients and within the systems in which therapists work. The fields of counseling, psychology, and social work require a sharpening of approaches that includes examining racial affect, intersectionality, and allyship. This workshop will use current scholarship including: the 2017 Multicultural Guidelines: An Ecological Approach to Context, Identity, and Intersectionality; White fragility theory (DiAngelo); and Sue’s work on microinterventions. Participants will engage, through experiential learning and small group exercises, with topics of White fragility and privilege, White supremacy in psychological practice, and global racism, with the goal of increasing cultural humility and sensitivity. Target Audience: Appropriate for Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Marriage and Family Therapists, Nurses, Addiction Counselors, and Mental Health Professionals.
