Description

When working within a different Culture, problems often arise because we are talking, rather than listening. Particularly for non-Native Counselors serving Indigenous Communities, it is crucial to be open and understanding with different assumptions from our own. Concepts of time, family, community and behavioral health challenges can be very different. Sometimes we use the same words but mean very different things by them. This workshop offers a primer – by no means exhaustive – for how honor Native Wisdom Traditions while offering the best care we can.

Learning objectives

  • At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to: (a) be able to enumerate at least three fundamental differences between Indigenous andWestern worldviews; (b) be able to describe how these differences can impact delivery of BH services in Native communities; and (c) be able to ID at least 3 Evidence-Based Practices designed or adapted forIndigenous communities.
