Part 1, Foundations: Participants will review and discuss the history and creation of the concept of intersectionality, the role it plays in mental health care, and the ways in which they can understand their own identities through an intersectional lens.

Part 2, Applying Intersectionality to Clinical Work: participants will discuss the ways in which intersectionality can allow them to better understand their client’s world views and experiences. Participants will use case studies to examine and better understand the role that an intersectional approach can be used to build a stronger therapeutic alliance with a client.

Part 3, Applying Intersectionality to Your Organization: Participants will take a critical look at organizations and the ways in which they allow for or suppress the expression of intersectionality.
