Next Steps for Cultural Responsiveness in Ethical Decision-Making
Traditionally, cultural competence training has involved conveying information on cultural considerations and mitigating the harm that can be done to patients when there is a lack of cultural awareness. Today, our training must evolve to include enhanced ethical decision-making models around cultural bias, self-awareness strategies that promote a better understanding of defensiveness or emotional reactivity, and resolution strategies. We can no longer ignore the impact that socio-political divisiveness has on our patients, ourselves, and the marginalized communities we serve. This presentation will include practical next steps to integrate culturally informed care into our ethical decision-making. Participants will also hear the lived experiences of wounded healers and examine how to authentically embrace diversity so that we may be effective advocates for marginalized communities.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to integrate cultural responsiveness in ethical decision-making.
- Participants will be able to provide patients and colleagues at least three culturally informed ethical decision-making models that match the needs of the addiction profession and the diverse communities that are served.
- Participants will be able to hear the lived experience of wounded healers and understand how embracing authenticity is essential to embrace diversity.
