Gail Flack, LCSW
ON-LINE REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED.
Summary:
As part of its commitment to the national Zero Suicide Initiative, Parkside is committed to using evidence-based, best-practice tools for treatment of suicide. Cultural competency has been a core value we have had to learn in training as clinicians. Cultural humility takes a more authentic approach to how and why we need to be more culturally humble as compared to competency. Cultural humility also plays a role in suicide and suicide prevention. Another theory of cultural sensitivity to suicide and suicide risk plays a key role in understanding the differences between culture and ethnicity.
Learning objectives:
1) To understand the differences between cultural humility and cultural competence in suicide risk.
2) To explore ethnic and cultural differences in approaches to suicide and the place of cultural humility within the scope of practice.
