Program Description:
Have you ever wondered how you can prepare yourself to engage in meaningful, culturally-sensitive, and therapeutic conversations about culturally stressful experiences? If so, this intermediate level presentation is for you! Specifically, attendees will first be asked to explore their personal commitment to promoting culturally responsive care within their practice. And, with this clarified commitment, attendees will be introduced to options for enhancing their culturally responsive care with an in-depth orientation to the Racial, Ethnic, And Cultural Healing Unifying Principles (REACH UP) model.
With this model, attendees will learn how to (1) evaluate the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impacts of cultural stress, (2) integrate experiences of cultural stress into existing case conceptualizations, (3) collaborate with their patients to formulate clear treatment goals, and (4) identify evidence-based interventions that promote empowerment, self-acceptance, and emotional healing from past, current, and/or anticipated cultural stressors.
Objectives:
This training will orient broadly to the importance of promoting culturally responsive care and then specifically provide space for attendees to explore their own comfort levels with assessing and treating the impacts of cultural stress. Also, this training will seek to combine various teaching methods (e.g., didactic, experiential learning, discussion, and case presentation) to sensitively and comprehensively achieve the following learning objectives. Clinicians will be familiar with how to do the following after completing this training:
- Engage in self-reflection about personal commitment to culturally responsive care and any barriers that interfere with promoting such care
- Engage in self-exploratory and preparatory actions that promote their ability to assess and treat cultural stress in a culturally responsive manner
- Gain awareness of formal, structured methods of assessing cultural stress to assist in diagnosis and case formulation
- Learn how to use the Racial, Ethnic, And Cultural Healing Unifying Principles (REACH UP) model to clarify a sense of empowerment at the beginning of treatment and/or following disclosure of cultural stress during treatment
- Learn how to use the REACH UP model to conceptualize how cultural stressors interfere with a patient’s ability to engage in empowered thoughts and behaviors
- Learn how to use the REACH UP model to flexibly adapt treatment plans to target experiences of cultural stress.
