This on-demand professional training program on Counseling Immigrant Women of Color: Dos and Don'ts for Culturally Responsive Counseling is presented by S Anandavalli, PhD.

This program reviews the importance of centering cultural responsiveness in treating immigrant women of Color for their mental health concerns. Dr. Vali addresses socio-cultural and systemic challenges faced by this population and outlines how they impact the community's mental health.

There is a discussion on intersectionality theory, its key tenets, and its application to conceptualize a client's mental health distress. Also, she provides culturally empowering treatment strategies that clinicians can apply in their work with this population. As part of sharing resources to facilitate treatment, a resource packet is provided to attendees to easily share with clients. There is a case study to help attendees apply their takeaways.

The unique intersection of immigration, gender, and race is rarely discussed in mental health fields. With the increase in immigration and crises around the world, more professionals are likely to work with immigrant women of Color than not. Learning culturally responsive treatment strategies can help address the distress faced by this population. This program is intended for community workers, medical professionals, and allied professionals who work with immigrant women of Color.
