Culturally Responsive Practice with South Asian Clients and Families

South Asian communities are among the largest and fastest-growing in Canada, yet many families delay or avoid counselling. This course gives clinicians practical tools to engage South Asian clients respectfully and effectively: understanding family systems and collective values, recognising how distress is expressed and explained, reducing stigma, working with intergenerational and couple conflict, and adapting evidence-based therapy without stereotyping. Includes diagrams, case vignettes, a cultural formulation worksheet and a final quiz.
