About the Workshop:

This workshop is for psychologists looking for actionable strategies to improve inclusion in their clinical practice. Building on a foundation that recognizes the ethical imperative for fostering inclusive therapeutic spaces, the workshop will address strategies to: 1) enhance psychological safety; 2) improve cultural humility and structural competence in care; and 3) remove systemic barriers to care. A socioecological approach is taken to explore available options for intervention across the domains of people, spaces, and contexts. By the end of this workshop, participants will have a roadmap for transforming your practice, enabling you to provide more effective and accessible care to the diverse communities you serve.

Learning Objectives:

 At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:
1) Explain the foundational principles of psychological safety, cultural humility, and structural competence in creating welcoming therapeutic spaces.
2) Analyze how current physical spaces, staff training, and practice systems may inadvertently create barriers for diverse clients
3) Develop integrated strategies for cultivating an inclusive practice that prioritizes the unique needs and experiences of diverse client populations.

Audience:

This presentation is intended for psychologists, other licensed mental health providers, and graduate students of psychology.
