Cultural Competency Forum Part 15: Promoting Sensitive and Flexible Therapeutic Responses to Cultural Stresses (6/23/2025)

Ryan DeLapp, Ph.D.

Culturally stressful events (CSEs) capture the moments individuals feel they experience negative judgment, mistreatment, or denied opportunities due (in part) to their cultural background. CSEs unfortunately continue to be social, emotional, and cognitive stressors that persons of color (POCs) are tasked with learning to navigate in their daily lives. However, it can be hard, as clinicians, to know how to efficiently conceptualize the impacts of CSEs in ways that clarify avenues for offering support and healing.

In this presentation, attendees will learn to use components of the Racial, Ethnic, And Cultural Healing Unifying Principles (DeLapp & Gallo, 2022; DeLapp & DeLapp, 2024) to conceptualize and then flexibly adapt their treatment plans for the impacts of racial and cultural experiences when working with POCs. Specifically, this presentation will begin by helping clinicians learn what they can do before conversations on cultural stress to promote a safe and sensitive space for POCs to explore and receive support for CSEs. Also, clinicians will receive tips for broaching conversations related to CSEs. Finally, the presentation will offer an overview of treatment options for supporting POCs in coping with and navigating the following impacts of experiencing CSEs:

• Emotional Stress: the intense and uncomfortable emotional responses caused by CSEs.
• Identity Stress: the ways CSEs can impact one’s sense of self-love, self-confidence, and cultural pride.
• Agency Stress: the ways CSEs undermine one’s sense of agency and control within their surroundings.

Objectives:

1. Engage in self-reflection and educational activities that prepare them to sensitively and humbly engage in discussions about race and culture with clients.
2. Implement strategies for sensitively broaching conversations about racial and cultural stress.
3. Identify when a client’s disclosures suggest they are experiencing Emotional, Identity, or Agency Stresses.
4. Create culturally responsive treatment plans that flexibly target these 3-ways racial and cultural stress can impact POCs.
