Dr Crystallee Crain (she/her) offers a two-part training on Cultural Humility: People, Community, & Practice. Cultural humility, a framework developed from the ideas of Josepha Campinha Bacote, Melanie Tervalon, and Jann Murray-García, is an evidence-based concept that prioritizes the co-creation of dynamic and generative relationships with people from different cultural experiences than your own. This could be in regards to a person’s race, ethnicity, class, education level, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, mental health capacities or disability status, political affiliations, or regional association.

During this workshop Dr Crain will work with participants to identify gaps in understanding, capacity for humility and emotional responsiveness as it relates to their professional practice. Through a participatory framed experience, participants will be able to heighten their efficacy in their work by understanding how their biases, perceptions, and worldview impact their service to the community.
