Cultural competence is essential to achieve patient-centered or client-centered care. This workshop will continue the work of enhancing skills and knowledge to work more effectively in a multicultural setting. Participants will explore stereotypes and enhance skills for interrupting bias. Sometimes we hear others say demeaning, degrading, or hurtful comments and lack skills to interrupt and redirect the intentional or unintentional behavior. This workshop provides skills to interrupt bias in a healthcare setting using a video titled “Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts,” and will conclude with points on what it means to be culturally competent. CEUs are available.
Intended Audience: Mental Health Professionals and Healthcare Professionals
