Cultural Formulation Interview Webinar -  ECMH Community of Practice

Understanding the culture of a family is critical to the provision of Early Childhood Mental Health services, especially when practitioners and families come from different cultural groups. Culture deeply influences how parents raise their children; yet it is often overlooked, and it can be a barrier to engaging the family. In this presentation, we will explore the Cultural Formulation Interview as a means of better understanding culturally influenced parenting beliefs and practices. 

Who should attend? This session is intended for any ECMH practitioner, regardless of model practiced.

Objectives:

• Become familiar with the Cultural Formulation Interview structure.
• Integrate the interview into the psychosocial interview.
• Increase comfort level in exploring cultural issues with parents and families.
• Heighten awareness of practitioner cultural lens and when it affects the therapeutic relationship.

Participants will receive an agenda, handouts, and a certificate of attendance.

This event will not be recorded.
