Dr Crystallee Crain (she/her) invites you to attend her foundational training Cultural Humility: People, Community, & Practice Workshop (CHnP 101). This two-part experience introduces participants to the framework of cultural humility, inspired by the work of Josepha Campinha-Bacote, Melanie Tervalon, and Jann Murray-García. This evidence-based approach emphasizes the importance of co-creating dynamic and generative relationships with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and different cultural experiences from 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.
In this 2 session - 2 day virtual training, (Tuesday March 18th, 2025 and Thursday March 20th, 2025 on Zoom) - Dr. Crain will work with participants to understand the difference between cultural competence and cultural humility, examine the importance of cultural humility as an effective framework for your professional practice, identify your gaps in cultural knowledge and needs for further education about other people’s experiences. She'll analyze a past experience through a cultural humility lens, examine your own biases and questions about perceptions of other people and deepen awareness of strategies to actively engage with diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.
