Overview
Implicit bias is an “implicit stereotype, an unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group.” In addition, according to the APA, “Most racial and ethnic minority groups overall have similar or in some cases, fewer mental disorders than whites. However, the consequences of mental illness in minorities may be long lasting.” As helping professionals, we have an ethical obligation to explore evidence-based research around the causes of these 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 presentation 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 our day of learning 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!

• Summarize the difference between cultural humility and cultural competency and how cultural humility can be a powerful tool regarding de-escalation practices.
