Multicultural Training

Describe opportunities for multicultural training:

Our staff is multicultural and multiethnic, as is our community. Our facilities have large multiethnic populations. These issues are present and discussed on a daily basis. We offer a series of seminars in group supervision on this topic and have appropriate staff as guest presenters to educate ourselves and our interns. Our clinical staff have a number of immigrants and ethnic groups represented, including: African American, British, Chinese, East Indian, Eastern European, Hispanic, Philippine, German, and Scandinavian. One of our psychologists has published extensively in areas relevant to cultural competence in healthcare and has substantial experience in working clinically with local refugee populations.
