The illusion of a cultural competency workshop is that it fosters the notion that you can “get it,” by taking a 2-hour course. This workshop seeks to de-mystify some of the language and variances related to culture. Participants will explore together the role that culture, ethnicity, and race have in shaping people’s lives and lived experiences. We will also explore the impact that bias and prejudice have in shaping those experiences as well, especially for survivors.
