Why BIPOC Health Matters: The Role of Counselors will explore the mental health challenges faced by BIPOC communities and examine how historical trauma and cultural factors impact access to care. Participants will gain practical strategies for providing culturally responsive and trauma-informed counseling to support BIPOC clients effectively. Join us to deepen your understanding and advocacy for mental health equity.
The workshop is designed to help participants:
1. Understand mental health challenges unique to BIPOC communities.
2. Increase awareness of their own cultural biases and identify how these may impact therapeutic relationships with BIPOC clients.
3. Equip themselves with culturally responsive strategies to support BIPOC clients.
