Multicultural Awareness & Diversity: Powerful Strategies to Advance Client Rapport & Cultural Competence (Fisher HS 048760)

Course overview

Too often, therapists feel paralyzed by the fear that they don’t know enough about other cultures to try to counsel clients different than themselves. Reduce those fears by increasing your understanding of cultural experiences with which you are not personally or professionally familiar. Without learning multiple languages or becoming an expert on every possible culture, you can become more culturally competent and feel more confident in your ability to counsel any client from any culture. Beyond ethnicity, you will also explore issues of age, gender, sexuality, religion, acculturation, and social justice, as well as opportunities to strengthen the therapist’s own cultural self-awareness.
