In this highly interactive, experiential learning-based workshop, participants will delve deeply into the concept of cultural responsiveness with Spanish-speaking immigrants and develop strategies to become culturally responsive and humble allies, particularly given the current sociopolitical climate.
Led by Dr. Stephanie Carnes, PhD, LCSW, LL.M, an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Sacred Heart University, as well as a bilingual clinician, advocate, and researcher.

She has conducted extensive research on identity development, social inclusion, and well-being in Spanish-speaking immigrant youth.
In addition to a doctorate in social welfare and an MSW degree, Stephanie also holds an LL.M Masters of International Human Rights Law, and holds a leadership role in the advocacy organization Social Workers for Immigrant Justice.
