About the event
The Asian Indian Hindu community is one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations in the United States. Mental health professionals may find it challenging to provide care to clients who are ethnically, racially, and culturally different from them. Gaining knowledge of Hindu values and cultural and spiritual beliefs can assist them in providing culturally competent care. This workshop is the first of a three-part series designed to offer clinicians an opportunity to enhance cultural competence when working with Asian Indian Hindu clients. The first part focuses on understanding Hinduism.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the workshop, the participants will:
• Gain information about the origin of Hinduism.
• Be educated about key beliefs of Hinduism.
• Acquire information about the supreme being and be able to identify the main deities that are worshipped in Hinduism.
