Workshop Description:

This workshop is a call to action for mental health practitioners committed to the ethics of improving the human condition and doing no harm. Clients with cultural identities marginalized by society continue to experience treatment disparities that result in a lower quality of mental health care in comparison to clients with cultural identities that have been traditionally privileged. Ethical therapy must include recognizing, eliminating, and protecting against cultural bias and marginalization so clients have the fairest opportunity to benefit from treatment at their maximum potential.

This workshop will focus on operationalizing cultural competence, humility, and equity to yield strategies that can be integrated into any therapy intervention or protocol. Dr. Davis will utilize didactics, self-assessment, experiential exercises, and vignettes based on her own therapy practice to facilitate the application of ethical strategies. In addition, evidence-based strategies to mitigate the negative influences of clinician privilege, power, and implicit bias on alliance development will also be examined and applied to vignettes.
