The Ethics of Cultural Self-Awareness: How to Offend without Really Trying
Understanding cultural issues is critical to providing excellent care. In this workshop, we will explore how the counselor's (and other helping professional's) cultural values and biases, often in less overt forms, can affect interactions with people who are different from them in various ways, including and especially their clients. During this workshop, we will discuss bias as it applies to many "categories," such as race, religion, sexual orientation, physical condition, socio-economic status, and gender. Learning objectives:
* Explore how the professional's cultural identity, experiences and biases can impact relationships
* Define and recognize microaggressions
* Learn the importance of "cultural auditing" throughout the therapeutic relationship

Working with Latino Youth with Drug and Alcohol Problems
This intensive workshop focuses on an evidence-based intervention known as the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) that has proven successful in work with Latino youth affected by drugs and alcohol. After reviewing the philosophy behind the model, participants will engage in role-plays, group work, and reflection on skills learned. Topics such as relapse prevention, drug refusal skills, assessment tools, and sobriety sampling will be covered, and the follow-up program called Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) will also be reviewed in detail.
