Sacramento County BHS 

Cultural Humility Training 1 

Advancing Inclusive Dialogue, Clinical Development, and Allyship

FY 2026-2027

This advanced-level training enhances the ability of behavioral health professionals to recognize and address unconscious bias and systemic inequities that affect client care. Participants will strengthen their capacity to deliver culturally responsive services by examining the impact of bias in therapeutic settings, identifying power imbalances within systems, and applying practical strategies that promote equity. 

 Through instructor-led discussion, case-based examples, and self-reflection activities providers will learn to facilitate meaningful conversations about racism, mitigate bias in clinical interactions, and support inclusive practices at both individual and organizational levels. This session directly supports improved service to the public and advances the professional skills needed to provide equitable, client-centered behavioral health care.
