Socio-Cultural Factors in Sexual Values and Behaviors (2021) Presented by Dr. Brent Satterly

Description:

This highly engaging eight-hour training provides participants with the knowledge and reflexive practice skills necessary to explore the complex dimensions of sociocultural factors of sexual values and behaviors. Since examining specific cultures in depth is beyond the scope of a single training, exploring the role that oppression, privilege, and colonization have played in the formation of sexual values provides a foundation for culturally humble practice skills development. Through the use of interactive activities, guided video analysis, and complex case examples, participants will apply culturally humble reflexive clinical skills in assessment, intervention design, and evaluation.
