Category: CE Events: Adult Individuals

This course will present the dynamics of culture, diversity and social justice that impact the mental health of people from diverse life experiences. This course is intended for health and mental health clinicians, educators and administrators invested in improving mental health care for underserved patient populations. We will explore the role of cultural diversity factors in therapy in a variety of clinical settings with particular attention to the unique context of care provision during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contemporary thought on cultural humility, cultural identity development, privilege and anti-racism in mental health care will be examined from various theoretical perspectives. Emphasis will be placed on the latest research findings on reducing health care disparities and increasing patient advocacy for underserved populations. We will use live streaming, electronic Q & A, and other remote learning technologies.
