Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in your practice
This training focuses on appropriate ethics and boundaries in client-case manager and peer-to-peer relationships in everyday practice. Participants will engage in self-reflective activities related to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, different abilities, and intersectionality. Oppression, discrimination, power and control, and historical and structural racism, and privilege will be featured as it relates to the helping professions. Use of group discussions and personal reflection will foster understanding of ethical, reflective practice with clients, personal diversity, and skill level in cultural humility, and increasing knowledge of diverse cultures within the helping professions.
Learning Objectives:
- Define and understand cultural humility and cultural competence.
- Reflect and assess your knowledge and assumptions of other cultures, understanding of your own equity, diversity, and inclusion journey, and explore your values.
