Description

The concept of culture is both universally applicable and simultaneously elusive to define. To be effective in our supervisory practice, we need to better frame and navigate cultural similarities and differences: intercultural competence. Research indicates that most people, regardless of identity (race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, etc.) tend to focus primarily on cultural similarities and aren’t as effective at engaging and leveraging deeper aspects of difference. In this workshop, we will deepen and complicate our understanding of how we navigate cultural similarities and differences through theory and applicable content. These foundational cultural concepts are applicable not just to the supervisory relationship, but also to clinical, team, and organizational dynamics. 

In this course, participants will have the unique opportunity to take the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI), a theoretically grounded, cross-culturally valid, and reliable tool for assessing intercultural competence. The workshop content is dependent on completion of the IDI assessment. Aggregated group results will be presented and interpreted in the workshop.

This course is intended for behavioral health practitioners seeking to be supervisors, who are particularly interested in working more effectively across cultural differences in their supervisory relationships.

Pre-requisites:

All participants will be required to take the IDI assessment at least two weeks prior to the workshop.
