Clinical Training Day 2023

Join the Center for Rural Behavioral Health along with Brandon Jones and Thad Shunkwiler as they lead a two-part, ethics and cultural competence focused continuing education training. With three different options and formats to attend; in-person, online, and professionally filmed recorded session, get these required CEU’s on a schedule that works for you.

 

 

This training will provide participants with a learning opportunity to move forward with understanding Equity and Diversity Inclusion work. Most have had training and learning opportunities in “Cultural Competence,” however, there continues to be struggles and issues finding the best ways to connect and treat our client populations. This training will provide participants with a learning opportunity to move forward with understanding Equity and Diversity Inclusion work in a Trauma-Informed Framework. Trauma has become an important topic because it has long-term adverse physical and mental health effects. Participants will work through cultural dynamics during this training and advance our work.

 

Remember in ethics class when you thought the answer to dealing with ethical dilemmas would be black and white? Turns out that in the real world of providing behavioral healthcare the ethical way forward is usually shaded in gray. This workshop will dive into the ethical gray and help you develop an ethical decision-making framework that will guide your clinical practices. Using a mixture of real-life and popular media examples (Shrinking, The Shrink Next Door, and even The Soprano’s) participants will learn to embrace the gray and feel confident in their judgement.
