Objectives

  1. Categorize the organizing principles and features of Polyvagal Theory.
  2. Determine the needs of your client’s nervous systems using Polyvagal Theory.
  3. Utilize co-regulation practices of Polyvagal Theory when interacting with clients.

Outline

  • Meet the training staff
  • Large group brief introductions
  • Small group introductions with assigned consultant
  • Four-person consultation groups
  • Polyvagal Partnerships

SELF-STUDY | Diversity Made Simple: A Shame Free Approach to Reducing Offenses and Repairing Cross-Cultural Relationships

Unintentional cultural offenses and misunderstandings often contribute to disconnected personal and professional relationships.  Unfortunately, helping professionals often feel paralyzed by the fear that we don’t know enough about other cultures to try to effectively support those different than themselves.  This training will help reduce those fears by providing an attainable goal for increasing cultural competence, as well as reducing the negative impact of unavoidable cultural misunderstandings on professional rapport and effectiveness.  This positive and encouraging, relationship-focused training will provide practical language and strategies that can help reduce tensions and perceived barriers, and help strengthen cross-cultural relationships.

Program Information

Objectives

  1. Develop a healthy perspective on what diversity includes and the benefits of increased cultural competence on improving cross-cultural professional relationships (beyond avoiding cancel culture).
  2. Determine specific strategies for increasing cultural self-awareness and self-confidence, and to convey genuine cross-cultural care.
  3. Utilize healthy diversity language to avoid division and increase cohesion among culturally diverse families and communities.
  4. Demonstrate the use of practical strategies for reducing the frequency of unintentional cultural offenses and repairing relationships damaged by cultural offenses.

Outline

  • Appreciating the Value of Cultural Identity & Expression
  • Broadening One’s View of Diversity Beyond Race & Ethnicity
  • Increasing Cultural Self-Awareness & Other-Awareness
  • Developing Healthy Use of Often-Polarizing Diversity Language
  • Practical Strategies for Reducing & Addressing Cultural Offenses

Target Audience

  • Counselors
  • Social Workers
  • Psychologists
  • Case Managers
  • Addiction Counselors
