Cultural Competence (1.5 hours)
This training explores prison culture through an anthropological lens, helping clinicians understand how norms, values, language, and behaviors develop in high-stakes environments. It examines how incarceration shapes identity over time, including the ways individuals adapt for survival and belonging. Participants will learn to recognize the difference between culturally influenced behaviors and true pathology, reducing the risk of misinterpretation in clinical settings. The course emphasizes practical, respectful engagement strategies that build trust while maintaining professional boundaries. Ultimately, it equips clinicians to work more effectively with justice-involved clients by seeing behavior in context rather than through assumption.
