Delivering compassionate and culturally-responsive service is essential when supporting individuals and communities from diverse backgrounds. This engaging session will provide insight into lived experiences, societal values and beliefs, and perspectives on liberation psychologies—helping service providers elevate their service delivery and build deeper connections with those seeking support and resources.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
✅ Identify various aspects of intersecting identities, and how these layers of a person can be an asset or barrier to providing culturally-responsive services.
-
✅ Describe five different types of trauma, and how they are interconnected in the lived experiences of individuals and communities.
-
✅ Analyze the history of hate and violence in America, and explore how this has shaped systems of care, service providers, and community members.
-
✅ Gain insight on liberation psychologies and how this framework can be integrated into supportive services to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
