This workshop integrates both didactic teaching and interactive activities. I will draw on your clinical expertise and lived experiences, fostering self-reflection and collaborative practice in transculturally informed care. We will explore strategies for supporting clients through meaning crises, engaging in philosophical discussions relevant to therapy. You will also have the opportunity to refine your skills in providing humanistic care, including how to thoughtfully address culture and spirituality within the therapeutic setting. The content is structured broadly around:

Understanding how loss is organized in the psyche

Developing trauma-informed and transculturally safe practice

Developing heterogenous cultural literacy

Pandemic’s impact on loss and migrant/CALD communities

Recognizing barriers in supporting the Muslim cohort

Latest research & best practices in transcultural mental health care

Application of the Biopsychosocio-Spiritual (BPSS) model 

Using Case Studies from Lived Experiences

Additional Resources Included:

You will also receive a 100-page Culturally-Informed Trauma Workbook (worth $59)

A list of Spiritual Styles

A tip sheet to navigate relevant exploratory questions

A selection of existential literature for practitioners & clients including prose and poetry

Structure:

This material is most effective when delivered over two sessions, spaced one week apart, due to its depth and complexity. Each session is 3 hours. The break between sessions allows time for the content to be processed and absorbed. It also offers an opportunity for self-reflection, time to formulate questions for discussion, and a chance to approach practice with greater confidence, ultimately enhancing the learning experience.

This workshop will run for 3 cycles. You have a choice of AM and PM sessions per cycle, to allow for flexibility.
