Multicultural Training

Describe opportunities for multicultural training:

The SPS Training Program is committed to multicultural and diversity awareness and training on multiple levels. Attention is given to issues of gender, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious and spiritual affiliation, socioeconomic, college programmatic and diagnostic differences in each and every clinical case, as well as within the cohort and the professional environment. Specific trainings are provided on topics such as working with Latinx and LGBTQ+ clients. Supervision in group and individual formats takes these issues into account each meeting, as applicable, and interns are strongly encouraged through direct request and modeling to attend to these issues in working with transference and counter-transference awareness and parallel process in treatment and supervision. Further, the program supports a deep attention to diversity through Consolidation meetings several times a semester, when all interns and staff come together to address any issue in the community, which encourages and allows all interns to speak to these issues within the training program in its entirety.
