As part of our diversity and outreach work, ICP+P is pleased to offer a series of four round tables, the first of which will be held virtually on September 18th. We hope that these topical events will promote discussion and engagement about racism and other forms of exclusion in the mental health field. The intent of a round table is to generate exploration and intimate discussion of a particular topic, in an egalitarian forum. As we prepare for the next phase of our consultative work with Vision 4 Equity, we think that the round tables will create an avenue for on-going discussion and learning that will enrich our organization.
Diagnosing bipolar disorder is challenging under most circumstances, but when race, gender and LGTBQIA communities are factored in, the process often results in misdiagnosis. The implications of misdiagnosis are far-reaching in terms of treatment and quality of life. We will explore how to analyze and assess diverse populations within the framework of cultural competence, compassion and systemic barriers.
This roundtable is appropriate for clinicians at all levels of experience. No CEs will be offered. Space is limited.
PLEASE NOTE: Recording in any form of this live streaming event is NOT permitted.
