Description
Summary:This presentation will address the reality of increasing stigma and inequalities among diverse groups (racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities, among others) at this point in time in the United States. In uncovering the psychological underpinnings of stigma and inequalities, the presentation will identify how stigma and inequalities impact psychologists’ work with clients. Workshop participants will actively learn and integrate the language of privilege, implicit bias, and intersectionality into their theoretical perspectives and practices in order to best assist diverse clients in navigating increasingly uncertain times.
