"Can I Help You?": Virtual Workshop for Professional Helpers (3 CEUs)

Faced with differences in race, gender, language or culture, you may wonder, “Can I help you?”

This Virtual Workshop invites participants to examine how history, culture, and personal upbringing shape how we assess, interpret, and intervene, giving professional helpers the tools to feel confident when working with diverse individuals. Through a blend of epistemology, self-reflection and cultural humility, this interactive workshop goes beyond “what to know” about diversity to deep-dive into the "how" and "why" of what we know. When our time together ends, you'll emerge with a compassionate understanding of how different perspectives strengthen our shared humanity.
