Episode 8
With July being BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, we are joined by our Bilingual Therapist, Derick Ruiz, to talk about the benefits of shared culture and language in therapy. While all therapists are equipped with skills that support wellness, there is something special about connecting with a professional who has shared experiences, background, and language of the person seeking services. Watch the full episode to learn more about the protective factors of culturally competent care and the process of relationship building in therapy.
