- Have you ever been to a cultural competency training and thought it was a complete waste of time? Dr. Raquel Martin has, and she has a message for all those who have felt this way: you're not a terrible person, most of these trainings completely miss the mark. Dr. Martin shares the history of cultural competence, how we have lost the original vision of the concept, and methods to remedy this issue. Because therapy can't be the only safe space, we must improve the human experience. Dr. Raquel Martin is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Professor, and Research Scientist that holds her PhD in Medical and Clinical Psychology. Dr. Martin specializes in racism related stress, racial identity development, and anti-racist and anti-oppressive care. Dr. Martin is passionate about mental health education, activism, and critical consciousness. As a practicing psychologist, Dr. Martin works directly with patients to help them identify and resolve emotions, beliefs, and thoughts that are impacting their mental health. As a research scientist and author, Dr. Martin contributes to the growing narrative regarding mental health disparities, racial identity, and trauma based interventions. Finally, as a professor, Dr. Martin mentors, educates, and advocates for the next generation of clinicians. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Thank you for speaking our truth in such a way that people can't ignore our daily experiences. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dr Martin, we have all witness cultural intolerance. We all know there is a problem. We have know this for years. The issue is no one seems to be able to come up with a solution that works for everyone.
I absolutely love what you said about therapy being unable to fix it all because it is a larger societal issue. But we can be part of the solutions. TY
Thank you so much for all you do to educate! I look forward to listening to you anytime you want to teach
Omgoodness. This is everything. This is chock full of everything. Truth,.and solutions. Thank you
This is so well-said. Thank you so much for your leadership.
Omg you’re amazing! Thank you for speaking this into light.
Thank you for speaking up for us❤️❤️❤️
Well said Dr. Martin 👏🏽
This was great. Thank you for this.
So very powerful, filled with so much truth, love, and strength. THANK-YOU Dr. Martin for sharing your MEDICINE.
Thank you 💞💞💞💞
Awesome presentation. True and relevant.
Thank you for your in-depth clarification of what cultural competence is. Too often I hear individuals who have not studied or research it say that it is an end point and I do share about Dr. Sue's point for clarification. I really appreciate all that you shared.
I wish there was an emoji for mic drop! Keep teaching because you are like a drink of water in the desert with the knowledge you shared in this talk.
Very informative and valid thank you for this
Good talk in this critical evaluation of cultural competence. It would be useful for DEI programs to be evaluated scientifically. What are the desired outcomes and what methods are most effective for achieving these outcomes? Also, a science based approach will most likely be embraced rather than a ideologically based (CRT) approach.
Thank you;)))

I'm sorry for being dense, but why are the trainings usually in February?
Because it's the shortest month.
I hope the DEI space catches up to real life experience. Put the textbooks down and get to know the folks your talking about

so what is the solution?
It's not about solutions. If people stopped these so-called trainings or just went back to being regular people not fixated or categorized by race, they'd be out of a job. Race-hustling is big business.
Current anti-racism training in schools, businesses, and government is teaching racism. I can't think of anything more dangerous than teaching people to judge others by the color of their skin.
It’s not really true that anti-racism training teaches racism. It unveils it. This is what I call “whoever smelt it, dealt it,” logic. If you point out the problem, you are the problem. Racism is learned very early, and by the age of two most toddlers understand what racism is. They understand by observing the world their parents live in and how they interact with the people around them. We are meaning making machines, us humans. And our innate emotional sensitivities is what drives this meaning in the beginning. Our nervous systems don’t even work independently until we’re two or three. You get all emotional input from your caretakers, so if you caretaker gets anxious around outsiders, that emotional pattern may become a part of your emotional system. This is how racism is passed down. If you live in a community that is all one race, or where the only place your children see people different from themselves is in service roles, they’ve learned something they believe is concrete about how society is structured. It’s in our movies, our news, our books. The only way to not keep teaching racism is to create public spaces that show the full spectrum of possibilities to our youngsters. What people do and believe in private is up to them, but public spaces have to be integrated for biases to not form or to mitigate the effect of it from the home environment. I was raised in a multicultural community. This is rare. I don’t have many biases about others because I saw all kinds of people in all kinds of roles. There were few associations or assumptions I could make from what I was observing and experiencing. Very few biases took root. In adulthood everyone expects us to have all these biases and is frightened of me because largely, I don’t. But my mom raised me this way, consciously.
yes there are some people with a closed mindset and bias. It can also go both ways. People of color have used bias to size me up when I had an emergency situation. A school age girl didn't want to play with my daughter because "she was white". So, everyone needs to treat everyone equal regardless of background, race, or culture. They need to come up with an updated oxygen meter, everyone needs optimal care.
Are you serious...your response to the systemic racism addressed in this podcast is to say it works both ways, evidenced by the fact that a child didn't want to play with you because you were white. While that likely hurt you when you were a child, it probably didn't have the same impact as institional racism. Unbelievable.
