Becoming an Antiracist and Anti-Oppressive Clinician

What does it mean to be an antiracist and anti-oppressive clinician? In most graduate programs diversity and multicultural counseling education is limited to just a few classes. It's time to update our clinical frameworks from the eurocentric, individualistic, hierarchical models to more liberatory approaches.

How do we begin our therapeutic relationships centering equity and cultural-affirming care from the jump? By understanding our own individual and collective history and practicing with explicitly anti-oppressive values. When we work with historically overlooked people who experience layers of oppression, silence is complicity, and neutrality is dangerous. Join us for a workshop in two parts: the first half will be didactic, and the remainder will be discussing clinical applications using vignettes and your experiences and questions.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define and apply a cultural humility framework to your clinical practice.
2. Identify and explore how white supremacy cultural values come through in clinical care and case conceptualizations.
3. Address ways to integrate anti-racism into your mental health practices
