Trauma, Culture & Identity in Care

Workshop Description

Trauma does not occur in a vacuum; it is shaped by cultural context, identity, and lived experience. This workshop explores the intersection of trauma, culture, and identity and how these factors influence clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment. Participants will examine cultural humility, power dynamics, and counselor self-awareness as essential components of trauma-informed practice. The training emphasizes culturally responsive clinical approaches while maintaining ethical neutrality and respect for diverse identities within counseling relationships.
