Next Level Mental Health Counseling

Title of Event: Socio-cultural factors (ethnicity, culture, religion, spirituality, socio-economic status, family values) in relation to sexual values and behaviors

Description of Event:

This two-day virtual continuing education event provides clinicians, counselors, and students with an in-depth examination of how sociocultural factors — including ethnicity, culture, religion, spirituality, socioeconomic status, and family values — shape sexual values, behaviors, and clinical practice.
