Trauma does not occur in a vacuum; it is shaped by cultural context, identity, and lived experience. This workshop explores the intersection of trauma, culture, and identity and how these factors influence clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment. Participants will examine cultural humility, power dynamics, and counselor self-awareness as essential components of trauma-informed practice. The training emphasizes culturally responsive clinical approaches while maintaining ethical neutrality and respect for diverse identities within counseling relationships.
This workshop is virtual. All attendees will receive a Zoom link the night before the workshop.
