Adolescence is a pivotal stage of identity formation—and culture plays a defining role in how young people experience and express themselves. This engaging one-hour training, led by Carlee Beyer, LCSW, CST, is designed to help mental health professionals strengthen their cultural competence and clinical effectiveness when working with adolescents.
Participants will explore how cultural values, norms, and identities shape mental health and behavior, while learning how to build trust through culturally sensitive communication and client-centered approaches. Through guided discussions, demonstrations, and self-assessment, attendees will gain practical tools to recognize their own biases, enhance therapeutic rapport, and advocate for youth navigating systemic barriers related to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and immigration status.
