Cross-Cultural Counseling Competencies is a 10-hour continuing education course for Certified Mental Health Professionals (CMHPs) who serve people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture shapes how people experience distress, seek help, communicate, make decisions, and recover. Helpers who do not examine their own cultural lens may unintentionally misunderstand, alienate, or harm the people they serve. This course teaches the foundations of multicultural counseling competence, including the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies; cultural self-awareness and cultural encapsulation; ethnicity, race, and identity; privilege, oppression, and microaggressions; socioeconomic status and mobility; acculturation and immigration; family, faith, and community; culturally responsive communication and assessment support; and advocacy and inclusion, within the CMHP role.
