    Joseph Forscher

    Joe Forscher has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in community counseling from Southern Connecticut State University. Joe has also lived in Kodiak AK and Seward AK.

    Joe embraces a solution-focused approach as a clinician and leader and describes himself as inquisitive, supportive, accountable, accessible, and creative. He has worked hard to develop self-confidence while reducing self-importance and is grateful for all the wonderful and poignant relationships he has had with clients and staff over the years. They have had a profound impact on him and have shaped him into the person he is today.

    Objectives

    1. List three key Alaska Native cultural factors that can influence behavioral health services that they can use as a starting point to improve or develop culturally responsive into their own clinical work.
    2. Identify common barriers to accessing behavioral healthcare in rural and remote areas so they can use this information to improve or develop culturally sensitive tele-behavioral health services for people in rural and remote communities.
    3. Identify three evidence-based treatment models that effectively integrate cultural traditions, beliefs, and wisdom while maintaining the efficiency and efficacy of a brief treatment approach.

    Event Information:
