Culturally Responsive Practice
Conversations about culture and identity
Description
This class uncovers how our cultural identities and experiences shape the way we make meaning of the world and relate to others. Outcomes are usually improved when services are adapted to a person’s cultural needs and preferences. As such, effective workers can skillfully navigate cultural conversations and form sustainable working relationships with the people they support. This training looks at practical strategies for learning about an individual within the context of their culture, including the DSM 5 Cultural Formulation tool.
