ABSTRACT:
When working with culturally diverse populations the need to look deeper into the presenting problem is more prevalent with those exhibiting symptoms of racial and cultural trauma on the rise. Often times clinical professionals are minimizing cultural and racial experiences in their treatment of Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC). The presenting problem will give the clinical professional limited information to begin providing therapeutic services for the child and family. Diving deeper into the presenting problem by asking the hard questions related to race and culture will assist in creating a therapeutic space that clients can discuss how race and culture impacts their experiences in the world.
