Microaggressions and Mental Health in Therapy Settings
37
About the Course
As the US population becomes increasingly multicultural and telehealth extends services into remote areas, there is a pronounced need for therapists to become adept at the delivery of culturally appropriate care. This course offers insight for therapists to not only self-reflect on their own biases, but also uses a case study format of real-life examples in the therapeutic arena. It also offers evidence-based strategies to overcome everyday barriers promoted by the acts of racial microaggressions applicable to patients and practitioners.
