During our work as psychotherapists, we continue to build skills to help address the clinical diagnoses and traumatic encounters our clients bring into the therapy office. While we build upon our understanding of culture and identity as a framework for understanding client concerns, one area continues to challenge clinicians: The role of the advocate. This training will explore Ratts and Greenleaf’s (2018) Counselor Advocate-Scholar model to address cultural competence and systems of oppression.
Participants will explore this model and its connection to the varying identities and challenges clients bring into the clinical space. There will be a review of various codes of ethics which address advocacy as an ethical responsibility for client care. We will explore several case studies to help crystallize our understanding of the CAS model and identify ways to broach and uplift clients whose concerns are connected to oppressive systems.
