Workshop Leaders:

Oscar Morgan, Thomas E. Arthur, and Iris Reeves are state leaders in the dissemination of multicultural competencies. They each have held high level administrative positions in the state of Maryland. They have joined forces to lay out a vision for our mental health system entitled, The Journey Toward a Culturally CompetentBehavioral Health Care System: Breaking Down the Barriers to Care.

Workshop Description:

The presenters will highlight how individuals from underserved ethnic and cultural populations can sometimes be misdiagnosed due to cultural and/or linguistic biases or ignorance. During this interactive session, participants will learn about the derivation of such biases and how they have influenced the beliefs and practices among practitioners. Through didactic lecture and interactive discussions, participants will gain knowledge and skills to assist them in developing effective strategies for moving cultural competence forward within their respective organizations. Participants will feel empowered to influence others to take the cultural competence journey.

This presentation will receive support from individuals representing specific ethnic and cultural groups.
