Course Description
Unintentional cultural offenses and misunderstandings often contribute to disconnected personal and professional relationships. Unfortunately, helping professionals often feel paralyzed by the fear that we don’t know enough about other cultures to try to effectively support those different than themselves. This training will help reduce those fears by providing an attainable goal for increasing cultural competence, as well as reducing the negative impact of unavoidable cultural misunderstandings on professional rapport and therapeutic effectiveness. This positive and encouraging relationship-focused training will provide practical language and strategies that can help reduce tensions and perceived barriers and help strengthen cross-cultural relationships.
This class meets the 4 hours of cultural diversity/social justice CE requirement for all licensed California psychologists needed each renewal cycle. It also meets the cultural diversity requirement for many other States.
