Culturally Responsive Treatment Planning for Cultural Stressors Experienced by Minoritized Clients

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Culturally stressful experiences describe when clients feel as if they have been (or will be) negatively judged, mistreated, or denied opportunities solely based on their racial and cultural background. The primary focus of this training is to help mental health professionals feel more confident and effective in offering culturally responsive assessment and treatment planning when minoritized clients present with or disclose experiences of cultural stress. This presentation is based on the Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Healing Unifying Principles (or REACH UP – DeLapp & Gallo, 2022) and references the latest guidelines for helping clients heal from and navigate cultural stressors within their daily lives. Specifically, this training will propose 3-ways cultural stress can impact clients, introduce assessment materials for evaluating these impacts, and provide recommendations on how to incorporate evidence-based interventions rooted in CBT, DBT, and ACT to address these impacts. Notably, this training will also feature an overview of experiential exercises and materials included in Dr. DeLapp’s REACH Self-Help workbook that will be published with Guilford Press (Release Date: TBD 2024).

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

• Use structured assessments of cultural stress within intake/screening procedures that highlight when it is important to further explore the impact of such stress.
• Use assessment tools to assess Emotional Stress (the intense and uncomfortable emotional responses caused by cultural stress), Identity Stress (the ways cultural stress can impact one’s thoughts and feelings towards their own background), or Agency Stress (the ways cultural stress impacts one’s ability to correct, improve, or change culturally stressful situations).
• Sensitively assess a patient’s cultural values and strengths in ways that enhance treatment planning and implementation.
• Use the REACH UP model to flexibly adapt treatment plans to target Emotional Stress, Identity Stress, or Agency Stress.
