The Cornerstones of CR-CBT

Cultural Sensitivity: Recognizing the impact of culture on a person's beliefs, values, behaviors, and mental health experiences.
Cultural Humility: Approaching clients with an attitude of openness, curiosity, and willingness to learn from their perspectives.
Cultural Competence: Possessing the knowledge, skills, and awareness to effectively work with clients from different cultural backgrounds.

Identify and address culturally-specific stressors and barriers to mental health.
Utilize culturally-informed language and metaphors to enhance understanding.
Incorporate cultural values and beliefs into the therapeutic process to foster empowerment and resilience.

At the heart of CR-CBT lies the belief that strong therapeutic relationships are essential for positive outcomes. To build these relationships, you will learn to:

Create a safe and affirming space where clients feel valued and understood.
Utilize cultural rituals and practices to enhance the therapeutic experience.
