Description
This presentation examines the role a counselor’s implicit socio-economic status ("SES”) bias may play in treatment disparities and whether training can effectively reduce clinician biases. Current literature indicates clinician biases negatively impact clients & treatment outcomes. This evidence suggests that one possible cause is implicit social class bias. This session will be a mixture of current literature review on social class bias, culturally competent counseling, and national trends in substance use disorders, mental health diagnoses, and utilizing experiential activities. This presentation is designed to educate supervisors and clinicians in the adverse effect class bias can have on the therapeutic relationship.
Learning Objectives
- Educate supervisors & clinicians on the adverse effect class bias can have on the therapeutic relationship.
- Increase awareness of the clinician’s ability to identify social class biases and to address this bias in their professional settings.
- Create an open and honest dialogue regarding SES bias and awareness within the target audience to act as a catalyst for advocacy within the profession.
