This is a set of slides from Jaime Brower's presentation at EAPA in Portland in 2023. Dr. Jaime Brower, Psy.D., ABPP, Vice President, Peer Support/Clinician, Training and Certification, Lexipol, Owner, Brower Psychological, Denver, CO, Jamie runs a certificate program to help clinicians understand the importance of having "cultural competency" when working with First Responders. She identified this knowledge base as having both Cultural Competence and Humility when working with this population. And further elaborates that these clinical services need to be conducted or provided in a manner that is responsive to the beliefs, interpersonal styles, attitudes, language and behaviors of individuals who are receiving services, and in a manner that has the greatest likelihood of ensuring their maximum participation and benefit – strive for ongoing knowledge, demonstrate cultural humility (the lifelong commitment to self -evaluation and critique)... • Jamie cautions that this work with First Responders is "Not for Everyone" because it includes the following elements: • Heavy trauma exposure • Desensitization • Moral injury/moral distress is common • High stakes • Long hours, unpredictable schedule • Requires comfort around officers, weapons, K9s, etc. •Morbid sense of humorRights/Terms
