Program Overview: This training is part of a 3 part series designed to provide participants with a breadth of knowledge surrounding areas relevant to diversity within the psychology practice setting.

Ethical considerations, to include cultural competencies, will be integrated into each session. The last session includes a case study presentation. All presentations will offer a brief opportunity for participant questions.
