Counseling Skill Group:

8. Legal, Ethical and Professional Development

OVERVIEW:

Implicit bias is an “implicit stereotype, an unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group.” As helping professionals, we have an ethical obligation to explore evidence-based research around the causes of racial disparities in minority communities and work on actively closing these gaps in care. The diversity of our patient population necessitates a team of professionals equipped with the informational tools needed to provide excellence in care. The training will address the definition of implicit bias, including appropriate strategies for practice. In addition, the presenter will discuss the component of ethical standards and disparities in the clinical setting throughout training to enhance the knowledge of participating healthcare professionals. From there, we will look closely at mental health disparities in minority communities. Using video and case scenarios, we will explore different views that minority groups may hold regarding mental health. We will also explore potential barriers to care in these communities and ways to overcome them. Finally, we will use the term cultural humility instead of cultural competency and how cultural humility can be used as best practices to understand the cultures and beliefs of others. Using multiple forms of learning and an interactive format – this training will keep you engaged and learning from start to finish!

OBJECTIVES:

By attending our workshop, you will be able to:

• Explain the definition of implicit bias.
• Examine the influence and ethical considerations of implicit bias in patient care.
• Identify evidence-based strategies used to reduce implicit bias.
• Describe the role of ethical standards in our discussions around implicit bias and healthcare disparities.
• Identify three potential contributing factors to health/mental health disparities in minority communities and state ways to overcome these disparities.
• Summarize the difference between cultural humility and cultural competency and how cultural humility can be a powerful tool regarding de-escalation practices.
