Zoom Webinar

Registration Fee: $45

OVERVIEW: 

This three hour training will center on racial trauma and stress in the context of institutionalized racism. A review of cultural sensitivity, disparate impact, and implicit bias
will lay the foundation for a discussion on traumatic stress related to the experience of racism in clinical practice. The primary focus of this training will be on understanding and identifying the effects of racism on therapeutic outcomes and developing practical skills for measuring and
reducing these effects in a clinical setting. A combination of lecture-style, breakout rooms, and case vignettes will be used. Due to the nature of the topic, this training will not be recorded.

OBJECTIVES: After attending this Zoom webinar, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the necessity for being culturally sensitive and having cultural humility,
• Examine how background and identity influences implicit bias in a clinical context,
