Workshop Description

A two-hour workshop on the general concepts of cultural competency and humility in clinical practice, the current racial attacks experienced by Asian-American individuals and the impact of the experience at an individual and communal level. The workshop will discuss case examples related to micro aggressions, racial attacks at mezzo, micro and macro levels. The workshop will focus on understanding racial aggressions and their impacts on everyday life and functionality of individuals and communities as a major barrier to cultural competency in our clinical practice.
