Too often, therapists and other helping professionals feel paralyzed by the fear that they don’t know enough about other cultural groups to counsel clients different than themselves. In this online self study course... our six experts set out to mitigate these fears by providing a framework for professionals to better understand the experiences of cultural groups with whom they are not personally or professionally familiar.
Trauma, grief and suicide disproportionately impact communities of colour and difference.
But discrimination and power dynamics have often been overlooked in our professional educations – frequently downplayed, oversimplified, or even fearfully avoided by clinicians.
Get the honest, raw and in-depth training you’ve been looking for your entire career and become a better therapist and advocate for clients of all backgrounds!
Unlike other cultural competency trainings that only scratch the surface… this dynamic self-study course led by SIX RENOWNED EXPERTS will give you specific tools to bring transformational change to you and to your clients facing deep-seated wounds from marginalization, micro-aggressions and discrimination.
Earn up to 22.75 CPD and get the step-by-step strategies you need to break down barriers to treatment access, eliminate the stigma that keeps suffering people from seeking help, and use your practice to help dismantle oppressive systems.
