Why Should You Take This Course?
Religion and spirituality are powerful aspects of the human experience and should not be ignored during mental health treatment. Within the context of Mormonism, there are several sects you may encounter when working with clients. It is important to be aware of some recent nomenclature shifts when working within this population. Being competent with understanding language shifts will help with more effective joining, treatment planning, and more successful treatment results.
Research consistently shows that religion and spirituality are considered important factors in many people's lives. LDS clients prefer clinicians who either belong to their faith community, or those who have made a concerted effort to become culturally competent and respect their values.
