Title: Applying Cultural Humility to foster connection with Queer Clients of Color
Description: As therapists, we are called to create secure containers for each client who shares our room regardless of cultural differences. However, due to our humanness and our own internalizations of systems of domination and oppression, we miss the mark. Thus, we create empathic failures and therapeutic disruptions, along the lines of identity and culture. This is especially concerning the mental health treatment of Queer Clients of Color, who due to inhabiting two oppressed identities often face higher rates of mood disorders, along with other social challenges when compared to their White counterparts. In this workshop, we will utilize the cultural humility framework to support our work in re-humanizing and building deeper connection with our Queer Clients of Color. Consequently, realizing our commitment to diminish these structural and clinical gaps.
