PODCAST: The MultiCultural MindSet

"The Multicultural Mindset" is a weekly podcast that helps counselors and other therapists dig into real-life issues affecting BIPOC mental health and wellness. A multicultural mindset is not a form of cultural competence. A multicultural mindset is a state of humility and openness to changing what you look for and what you see with clients who identify as BIPOC folx. It is not a list of things to know. It is a way of being that brings the overlooked and unspoken experiences of a racialized life from the background to the foreground of therapy. Instead of focusing on Black client deficits that aren't REALLY deficits at all, a multicultural mindset challenges the deficits and biases within the prevailing mental health system and provider ideologies. This is liberating for both the giver and the receiver of care. Join in to find your liberation from the one-size-fits-all counseling approaches you learned in grad school so you can hold space for others to truly heal. Let's all get free! It's time!
