Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
As psychological therapists, it is imperative that we consider the importance of delivering care and support in a way that takes account of a range of individual, familial and community related factors. Although the population in the United Kingdom has become increasingly multi-cultural over time, having the space, resources and skills to explore factors relating to an individual’s cultural background and identity is not always something that has been paid sufficient attention. There are many reasons as to why it is important to consider working in a culturally sensitive way, with the key aim at the centre of this work being to improve patient experience and outcomes. Considering what we mean by ‘culturally sensitive practice’ and where to start with implementing adaptations, will also support therapists and teams to develop current clinical practices in order to work towards improving inclusion and outcomes for the clinical populations that we serve.
The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4hrs of CPD.
