Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, broad themes of cultural competency will be covered as they relate to ethnicity, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, physical and mental ability, and social class. Through the use of small and large group exercises, participants will begin to recognize the assumptions, attitudes, biases, and misconceptions that inhibit communication about cultural differences within the supervisory relationships. Factors that facilitate cultural awareness and competence, and a framework for their inclusion in supervision will be provided. The importance of this heightened awareness for improving the quality of supervision and in turn, treatment will be discussed.
