Furthermore, participants will learn techniques and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to apply to this population effectively.

Objectives:

• Develop a general understanding of the relationship between autoimmune diseases and mental-emotional health.
• Understanding of how multicultural factors impact the relationship between illness and mental-emotional health.
• Learn techniques and theoretical framings for clients who struggle with chronic illness.
