The increasing emphasis on diversity and inclusion within mental health practices necessitates effective facilitation of conversations around these critical issues. This study examines the development and impact of the "Empowering Minds" facilitator training program, specifically designed to enhance the skills of mental health professionals in leading inclusive dialogues in psychology and psychiatry. The program focuses on cultivating cultural competence, addressing unconscious bias, and promoting open, respectful communication. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study assesses changes in facilitator confidence, cultural awareness, and participant engagement following the training. Results indicate significant improvements in these areas, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in preparing facilitators to navigate complex cultural dynamics and foster inclusive environments. The findings highlight the importance of specialized training in advancing diversity and inclusion within mental health fields.
