Ethical Cultural Awareness in Clinical Practice
- How systemic racism gets under the skin: epigenetics, intergenerational trauma, and clinical implications
- Ethical treatment planning at the intersection of implicit bias and Social Determinants of Health
- Feedback Informed Treatment protocols to measure discrimination’s clinical impact
Most clinical training stops at “be culturally aware.”
But awareness alone doesn’t tell you what to do when a client’s anxiety is actually the body’s response to decades of accumulated stress, or when your own blind spot just damaged the trust you spent months building.
After 20 years in this field, I’ve watched too many well-meaning clinicians hit the same wall: they can see that something bigger than the individual is at play, but their training never gave them the tools to act on it. The result is treatment plans that miss the real story, and ruptures that go unrepaired because no one taught us how.
This training addresses that gap, and is one I wish I had access to 20 years ago.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize how Social Determinants of Health, implicit bias, and historical trauma shape the clinical presentations you see every day
- Broach conversations about identity and marginalization with confidence
- Repair therapeutic ruptures after microaggressions
- Apply the ACA, APA, NASW, and AAMFT ethics codes alongside the MSJCC and Multicultural Orientation Framework
- Use assessment instruments and Feedback Informed Treatment protocols
