  Trauma Resource Team Book Group

  The TRT are launching a book group with a difference.  We’d love you to join us!

  
  

  

  The Trauma Resource Team (TRT) is an active group within Marin CAMFT, where members support each other to expand their knowledge and experience working with trauma.  For 2026 we are introducing a book club alongside our other offerings, which will work as follows:

  Each book group will be led by an MCamft member who selects a book that focuses on an aspect of trauma they are interested in, and they will lead the discussion for that month.  Members can sign up to join in for just one time or each time, whatever works for your schedule.  We want to come together in community, share our knowledge and learn something new.

  Interested Marin CAMFT members should please check your email for the announcement of this group, to find the link to the form to sign up. Can't find the email? Reach out to community@marincamft.org for assistance.

  Explore bias and increase awareness for working across cultures

  Cultural Humility in Clinical Practice: Buffering against Behaving from Bias

  Presented by Kelly Koo, PhD

  2 CEs available

  Free for Marin CAMFT members and RECAMFT reciprocal chapter members!

  This training will not be recorded. Please plan to attend the "live" session on Zoom if you are interested in this learning activity. 

  PLEASE NOTE: After you sign up here, you'll be sent instructions on how to complete a separate registration step with Zoom, which is how you will get your Zoom link. You can do that in advance, or right before the meeting begins. This registration step lets us more accurately track attendance in the Zoom meeting for our compliance purposes as a CE provider.

  
  

  Workshop Description

  
  As social beings, we clinicians will inevitably engage in interpersonally biased behaviors. Cultural humility is an approach we can apply to clinical practice that allows us to accept this inevitability, and yet put our efforts into building awareness and an intentional practice that can support preventing biased behaviors. This training will facilitate a nonjudgmental understanding of how our behaviors exist within the contexts of our social worlds and therefore will at times be biased, irrelevant of intentions. The nonjudgmental stance will include an overview of the rationale of why it is both difficult and important to discuss microaggressions/biased behaviors in therapy. Participants will learn a framework that supports a mindful (vs. mindless) response to when we commit, observe, or are told about a microaggression/biased behavior in a clinical setting, in order to engage in active and intentional repair and be accountable for our actions, especially when in positions of power, i.e., the therapist. These will be framed as acts of cultural humility. 
  
  This training is intended for an intermediate or advanced therapist audience given the time constraint of this training does not allow for a comprehensive review of the rationale for why identity factors are important in clinical care nor will the research evidence of the harmful impacts of microaggressions or other biased behaviors and discriminatory acts be reviewed. In other words, agreement with the importance of identity and societal factors in effective psychotherapy is necessary as this training’s focus will not be to persuade participants into considering identities in clinical practice.  This training is designed to increase willingness to discuss these sometimes avoided topics to support building a therapeutic alliance that includes the consideration of the unavoidable factors of our identities to promote interactions with cultural humility.
  
  

  Educational Goals

  Cultural humility is an approach that allows us to accept our imperfect humanness and put our best efforts into building awareness and an intentional practice that can support preventing biased behaviors. This training will facilitate a nonjudgmental understanding of how our behaviors exist within the contexts of our social worlds, and therefore will at times be biased. Participants will learn a framework that supports a mindful (vs. mindless) response to when we commit, observe, or are told about a microaggression/biased behavior in a clinical setting, in order to engage in active and intentional repair.
  
  
  

  Learning Objectives

  Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
  

  1. Describe cultural humility and its relevance to effective clinical care
  2. Explain a nonjudgmental rationale for common avoidance reactions to biased behaviors/microaggressions
  3. Apply an accountability-based framework to mindfully responding to microaggressions in clinical care

  Workshop Description

  Diabetes is a highly common health condition with higher occurrences in individuals with mental health conditions. While it is so common, therapists may have a limited understanding of how diabetes impacts mental health, unique challenges their clients may be going through, and areas of concern to potentially explore. This training will begin with discussing unique experiences of stigma that individuals with diabetes encounter which impacts their mental health. There will then be an overview on the Eight Dimension of Wellness, with discussion on how each dimension is impacted by a diabetes diagnosis. Participants will then learn examples of specific questions to ask, topics to explore, and interventions to utilize when working with clients living with diabetes.

  This training is applicable to therapists of any level who are interested in enhancing their knowledge around the Eight Dimensions of Wellness, and addressing specific concerns with diabetic clients.
  
  

  Educational Goals

  Participants will gain an understanding of what diabetes is, types of diabetes, and the day-to-day physical and emotional experiences related to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Participants will better understand how diabetic individuals are impacted by unique stigmas/myths, and how diabetic visibility challenges those stigmas. This training focuses on the Wellness Model, and the bidirectional impacts between diabetes and each of the Eight Dimensions of wellness, including interventions to utilize for each dimension. 
  
  

  Learning Objectives

  Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
  

  1. Describe unique experiences of stigma that individuals with diabetes experience impacting their overall mental health.

  2. Define the term Wellness, including differences from the definition of Health.

  3. Define each of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness.

  4. Explain the bidirectional impact between diabetes and each dimension of wellness.

  5. Assess each dimension of wellness for unique barriers that impact diabetes, including SES status, cultural/spiritual differences, and access to medical care.  

  6. Apply specific interventions to utilize when working with clients with diabetes.
