Helping health care providers develop cultural consciousness.

  • Consulting

    I consult with companies about mental health topics pertaining to Latino/a individuals. I also working with grops that want to improve internal dynamics and culture within their organization, dismantle organizational systemic oppression, and transform work settings to not only increase diversity but to also be inclusive of individuals from minoritized backgrounds. Moreover, I have consulted with agencies that want to develop infrastructure for their students and employees to increase their cultural consciousness (e.g., through developing a multicultural consultation team).

  • Trainings

    I work with different agencies to curate a range of mental health presentations for employees and community members, on a range of topics such as managing stress, burnout, and mental health symptoms. I also provide training for health care agencies to assist their mental health care providers in developing cultural consciousness and anti-racism. These trainings have a particular emphasis on operationalizing behavioral indicators of cultural consciousness and direct clinical application. To this end, training often includes viewing video recordings of hypothetical patient interactions as well as active learning activities such as role plays and discussing clinical vignettes. This is augmented by didactic presentations including theoretical and empirical underpinnings. Trainings can be tailored to the needs of specific agencies.

  • I enjoyed the trainer's demeanor and approach to this topic.

  • I really enjoyed the presenter, Dr. Nagy was very knowledgeable, engaging and well spoken. The readings were informative about cultural humility.

  • The 17 indicators of cultural humility were a helpful, concrete guide on what methods to use.

  • This was relaxed, relatable, easily consumable and very actionable.

  • I enjoyed feeling connected to other members. I also appreciated the intentionalily of discussing this topic. The presenter was warm and attentive.

  • Dr. Nagy has done clinical work and research that was presented in this presentation and I'm thankful to be able to incorporate concepts of intersectionality and accessibility in my clinical practice.

  • I really enjoyed the role play experience and have begun to utilize some of the lines of questioning and techniques in my interactions with clients. I am a hands-on learner, so having a role play segment was very kinesthetically appealing to my learning senses!

  • I really enjoyed the presenter's expertise as well as her presentation style, everything seemed smooth and organized - thank you for including this speaker, this topic etc.

  • One thing that I recognized through the training and learned from the training is the importance of self-evaluation in regards to cultural competency. I like to think that I am extremely culturally sensitive and handle situations at work as so but during the training I learned how sometimes we can unintentionally and unknowingly address matters with personal bias. I plan on taking time regularly to self-evaluate and ask myself if my methods and approaches ensure culturally conscious care. I plan on being more curious and asking questions of others' cultures so that I can be more understanding and more effective with my work.

  • A key part of the presentation was the section where Dr. Nagy spoke about cultural humility questions and the social context of it all. This section allowed me to identify there are gaps in my knowledge of this topic but the practice in a clinical setting seems to have its challenges for me as a professional.
