Unique Clinical Needs of Children of Color
Online Course

Instructor: Rachel Williams, LMSW

When compared to the mainstream population, minorities have different cultural expectations as well as different clinical needs. As the minority population of the United States continues to increase, professional clinicians must not merely acknowledge the clinical needs of children of color, but they must also expand their clinical expertise to include those needs. Though the clinical needs of all children should be individualized, there are some cultural considerations that should be taken into account when planning interventions for the treatment of a child of color. This introductory course will touch on the broader needs of black and Latino children in the United States, though many of the principles may be applied to children of other ethnic backgrounds.

This course is for you if…

• You are a clinician, psychologist, social worker, therapist, counselor or other professional who works with children and youth.
• You learned about interpersonal practice with youth, but did not learn evidence-based assessments and interventions for minorities.
• You would like specific strategies to work with children of color in the clinical setting.
