Lift Every Voice: Multicultural Mental Health Conference
About this Event
September 17-19 in Tulsa or from your own home, you'll spend three days with expert speakers tackling the hardest clinical topics happening right now:
AI Bias in Your Screening Tools - Dr. Ariesha Murray teaches you how to audit the assessment instruments you're using today for racial bias. You'll leave with an ethical framework, a practical bias audit tool, and clarity on what your licensure board already requires of you.
Clinician Capacity Under Pressure - Catrina Labrie shows you how your internal patterns, nervous system responses, and capacity directly influence your clinical presence in real time. Learn to recognize automatic responses (urgency, over-functioning, emotional withdrawal) that emerge under clinical pressure — especially in culturally complex situations.
Immigration Trauma Across Generations - Attorney Brenda Cristela Lozano brings what clinicians need to know about how immigration enforcement reshapes mental health. This is the clinical reality your clients are living. This is what most mental health conferences don't teach.
Plus 15+ additional breakout sessions on trauma healing (EMDR, neurofeedback, brainspotting), foster care ethics, social media and Gen Z mental health, transracial family dynamics, non-Western understandings of mental distress, military family resilience, and more.
Every session is designed around one principle: cultural competency isn't a checkbox. It's the framework for everything you do.
WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH:
- 20 CEU credits (including 3 ethics hours) valid for LMFTs, LPCs, and Social Workers
- Practical frameworks you implement in sessions within days, not theories you debate in your car
- Real-world case studies from clinicians and experts working with the most complex populations
- Practical tools you can't find in textbooks - AI bias audit frameworks, nervous system regulation protocols, cultural formulation templates
- Confidence that you're practicing within your licensure board's ethics requirements, even on the topics that feel unclear right now
Flexible options to earn your 2026 CEUs YOUR WAY:
- Pay Later options offered through Eventbrite
- Virtual or in-person at Legacy Plaza, Tulsa

WHO THIS IS FOR:
Licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers who:
- Work with diverse populations and want frameworks that actually work
- Are tired of generic CEU content that doesn't address what your clients are actually facing
- Need industry-current training on AI ethics, immigration trauma, and clinician capacity
- Want depth, not breadth — specialized skill-building, not inspirational talks
Not for: Broad-tent conferences. Generalist approaches to mental health.
For: Clinicians who do the hardest work and want training that respects their expertise.

CREATED BY SOARING EAGLES YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES
Founded by Premadonna Braddick, LPC (foster care survivor, transformational coach, and 2018 Woman of the Year). This conference exists because the mental health system needs clinicians who understand that healing happens where understanding begins and that understanding requires frameworks your average conference doesn't offer.
