This web conference will introduce attendees to a model of culturally competent practice focusing on the self of the therapist.

This web conference is intermediate instructional level and designed to help clinicians:
- Discuss the ADDRESSING model and other intersectionality models of identity;
- Explain the concept of aversive bias as it applies to their practice;
