CENTRAL STANDARD TIME
Presented by Sandra A. López, LCSW-S
Synopsis:
Our professional code of ethics across disciplines set ethical standards for promoting cultural competence in our clinical practice. Still, as clinical practitioners we may struggle in knowing how to effectively work with diverse cultures especially in our world today. Contemporary views of culture acknowledge that individuals may draw from various cultural affiliations in defining their identity or identities which may influence their perception of problems and ways of coping. The intersection of these distinct cultural identities can create complex encounters and even challenging ethical dilemmas for the clinical practitioner across settings. This workshop will address how we can best navigate these complex challenges, adopt a practice of cultural humility, and to seize the cultural opportunity.
Objectives:
- Describe the ethical responsibilities related to cultural competence
- Define a framework for culturally competent practice and key cultural constructs
- Identify clinical ethical dilemmas and challenges in the context of clinical practice
- Explore practical strategies for promoting cultural humility
