This program provides 2 hours of content on cultural competence.
This training will focus on the depiction of black males in today’s world. The issues Black males go through and face. The cultural mistrust which influences perceptions and the quality of their relationships. Recognizing Black males varies in their individual needs and identifying supports that might be most effective. Consider how efforts to adequately provide for Black males can be linked to the fight for larger social justice goals for themselves and their communities.
Participants will:
- explore their knowledge base around historic and current systematic oppression and implicit bias and the physical and mental health impact it has on Black males
- identify unconscious cultural responses to mental health
- improve culturally specific skills to work with the Black male population more effectively
- learn skills to support in the healing of the Black male
