Many emergency responders and public safety personnel struggle with straddling the sub-culture of their profession and their identification as members of traditionally marginalized racial, cultural, and religious groups, as well as those with non-heterosexual orientations. Course participants will hear rare, candid discussions from these responders, who share about the impacts of racism and other forms of prejudicial injustice. Mental health clinicians have a professional and ethical obligation to be prepared to confront these issues head-on with members of responder sub-cultures. Additionally, participants will learn insights from clinicians that primarily serve this responder population to further provide professional development skills and strategies.
This can be taken as a single course, or as part of the Emergency Responder and Public Safety Certified Clinician program.
