This workshop will engage participants in a review and discussion of common cultural biases and blind spots when facilitating assessment and therapy, as well as provide resources and strategies for identifying and addressing bias. The presenters will provide an overview of how to incorporate the client’s cultural identity into each phase of clinical intervention, from rapport building, through intervention, feedback, and follow up. The session will conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss how they will apply the information learned to their clinical practice.

1.  List potential blind spots and areas in need of growth to foster ongoing multicultural competence.
