Becoming a Culturally Competent Ally: 

Part 1 : 

This interactive workshop offers practical solutions to working 

across differences. Participants will learn how to be a culturally 

competent ally for peers, colleagues, and community members 

whose culture differs from their own. The training design 

operates from the essential position that anyone in a place of 

privilege can be an ally. Many of us lack the tools to effectively 

engage in the process of ally ship defined as, “ a lifelong process 

of building relationships based on trust, consistency, and 

accountability with marginalized individuals and groups of 

people.” Please join Chatara Mabry as she engages workshop 

participants in the systemic process of critical self-reflection, 

values orientation, safe space creation, and speaking out against 

bias and discrimination. The workshop educates participants 

about social justice and actively becoming a bridge for

differently from the adult brain. Certain kinds of thinking, such 

as decision-making, actually happen in different parts of the 

brain for adolescents and adults. Understanding these complex 

changes can help calm the rough seas of the teen years, but 

also provide your teen with critical support and understanding 

that will promote better decision-making, better mental health, 

and better outcomes at school. Come find out the important 

ways in which the teen brain is developing. Identify behaviors 

and attitudes that are influenced by these changes. Then 

learn to offer constructive strategies for establishing a better 

understanding of and communication with your amazing teen.
