Promoting Empowerment in Therapy

In this live webinar Ryan Delapp, PhD will transcend typical cultural competency training and share effective and evidence-based approaches to providing culturally responsive treatment and embodying cultural humility.

Dr. Delapp pioneered a groundbreaking initiative known as the REACH Program (Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Healing). This innovative program combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to empower BIPOC individuals, enabling them to embrace and honour their cultural identities. Moreover, the REACH Program is specifically designed to equip teenagers and young adults with protective skills that effectively alleviate the adverse effects of cultural and racial stressors.

Ryan Delapp, PhD will teach the principles of his REACH Model and offer techniques for providing culturally responsive assessments and treatment planning. Participants will also reflect on their own personal journeys and commitment to cultural humility within and outside the therapeutic milieu.
