Cultural Humility in Relationships: Responding to the Self and Other | 1 CE Credit

CARE Counseling’s Hannah Dufek, Director of Clinical Services, DEI Specialist, and Mental Health Professional at CARE Counseling will discuss cultural humility in clinical practice. Through this presentation, participants will learn how to identify their own intricate cultural identities so that they can reflect on ways that their human experiences show up in the therapy room. Participants will also learn how to repair cultural ruptures when there are inevitable misunderstandings or microaggressions that often occur in human interactions. By increasing cultural humility, conversations about culture will become more open, more honest, and more comfortable in order to create safe and effective therapeutic relationships.
