You will engage in self-reflective activities related to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, different abilities, and intersectionality. Oppression, discrimination, power and control, and historical and structural racism, and privilege is featured as it relates to the helping professions. Use of group discussions and personal reflection will foster understanding of ethical, reflective practice with clients, personal diversity, and skill level in cultural humility, and increasing knowledge of diverse cultures within the helping professions.
