Pre-Congress Workshop #2
International Case Consultation: Facilitating Cultural Competent Supervisors
Wednesday, 30 March 2016
10:30 AM – 12 Noon; 1:30- PM – 4:00 PM
Culture provides value system in our personal and family lives; such as structure, life cycle, role and communication pattern in the family. Culture also influences the problem formation and the work of therapist. Cultural value unconsciously sits deep in our daily lives, and only become visible when we meet different culture. Hawaii is a crossroad of East and West; ideal place for the therapists from different cultures to meet.
Goals:
This workshop will offer a safe container for participants to share their unique culture of themselves and their own cases, and to reflect
from different perspectives. It is designed as a peer workshop especially for experienced international family therapy trainers and will also be open to all with interest in international
collaboration.
Aims of the workshop are:
1) to obtain knowledge and skills around cultural competent supervision
2) to use the culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, age of the trainer to facilitate cultural competent supervision
3) to experience safe enough group dynamics which enable people from different cultures to explore and accept the difference.
This workshop consists of two components:
a) lectures on cultural competency, and
b) exponential group process of cross-cultural consultation. The concept of cultural systems differentiation will be introduced, with case illustrations for culturally competent clinical
practice and international peer case consultation.
Each participant is encouraged to bring a case in your daily practice; a case you feel you need a consultation, and it does not necessarily contains cultural issue. it is to bear in mind and not necessarily in writing.
