Course Overview 
In striving to provide culturally inclusive services, it is crucial that helping professionals be willing to examine the cultural lenses through which they view the world. While this is important no matter the race/ethnicity of the person being served, it is particularly important when working with people of color due to the nuances of cultural trauma that this population experiences on a daily basis. Utilizing a transformational learning lens, the goal of this workshop is to provide participants with an experiential and safe environment in which to develop the foundation needed to provide culturally inclusive services. This will be done through introducing participants to a model designed to visually expand the way that one views themselves, others, and the systems in which they work. Multiple modalities will be used to teach this workshop including lecture, experiential exercises, and small group work.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • List each aspect of their cultural identity as it relates to the acronym ADDRESSING
  • Describe the micro, mezzo, and macro layers involved when providing culturally inclusive services
  • Demonstrate how to have culturally related conversations across differences
  • Apply five techniques that can be used when building relationships with people of color
