At CAPS, we are committed to growing multiculturally as clinicians and as an organization. We are aware that there are different stages in this process. The process starts with increasing self-awareness and understanding of systematic oppression, that is present across the many institutions, including government, education, healthcare, legal, and others. We have many different life experiences and socioeconomic histories, which shape our worldviews that may grant power and privilege to some groups. By
facing how we may have benefited from and/or discriminated against based on our histories, by identifying our biases, power, and privilege and their impact on our interactions with our clients, and through increased cultural humility we become better therapists. Finally, we are committed to flourishing as a healthy multicultural organization through diversifying the organization, seeking input from diverse voices and groups, and working to serve under-represented populations in our community (see CAPS Statement on Anti-Black Violence & Statement on Anti-Asian Violence).
