2 CEUs - Cultural Responsiveness, Ethics, or Supervision

This course examines how one’s culture impacts decision  making in various treatment settings. Providers are constantly  faced with ethical choices resulting in ambiguous outcomes  and difficult decisions that may be morally confusing. Understanding cultural concepts enables providers to bridge the difference between themselves and diverse populations. Participants will acquire a better understanding of the ethical decision making process when cross-cultural conflicts occur  while addressing implications of unconscious biases.

The workshop will address these issues through a combination of interactive dialogue, focused discussion, applied practice  exercises, and small group work.
