Implicit Bias: Cultural and Spiritual Considerations for Mental Health Treatment
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Wed
Morgan's experience with spiritual diversity in mental health began with her bachelor's thesis covering the impact of insecure attachment on spirituality in adulthood. Morgan studied social work at Baylor University, a program that intentionally explores spiritual diversity in mental health as one of its competencies. She also completed an internship at Baylor's student counseling center, engaging in spiritually-integrated care. Her Master's capstone explored the intersection of spirituality and severe mental illness. In her doctoral program, she has continued to learn about spiritual diversity in mental health in her coursework, including a class devoted to the impact of spirituality on social policy and a class on spiritual diversity in social work. Morgan is studying spirituality in adults with trauma histories for her PhD dissertation and has assisted in spiritually-integrated social work research at Baylor for over 5 years.
