Title: Clinical Crossroads: Clinical approaches to addressing intersectionality with clients from marginalized communities
Speaker and Degree: Tekulvē de Flower Jackson-Vann, MS, LMFT
Description: Systems Theory teaches us that our clients do not live in a vacuum. Many clients hold memberships in multiple marginalized groups, and the impact of the intersection of those various memberships often motivates clients to seek clinical help. In this presentation, J. Tekulvē Flower de Jackson-Vann, LMFT will share clinical and personal insights into working more effectively with clients from marginalized communities. He will share clinical approaches based on his nearly two decades of clinical experience in various clinical settings and his lived experience as a Black, queer, LDS-adjacent male living in the Intermountain West.
