Program Description:
The NASW Code of Ethics was amended with the expectation that social workers engage in the continuous pursuit of knowledge to effectively engage diversity and difference in practice. All too often we as practitioners assume heterogeneity when working with others and unconsciously default to a position of ethnocentrism. Cultural competence is a vital but sometimes ignored element in the delivery of services to consumers of social work services. Further, our competence as practitioners depends on habits of the mind, including attentiveness, critical curiosity, self-awareness and presence.
This training will promote ethical practice by facilitating practitioners to recognize, respect and engage diversity and differences in practice for the benefit of the consumer. Attendees will have the opportunity to develop their diversity lens thru an interactive discussion and experiential learning activities that promote cultural literacy of the various factors of diversity and how they impact service delivery.
Training Objectives:
-Provide participants with a shared language for discussing cultural and structural differences and health disparities.
- Examine and explain the affects of implicit bias, perception, and microaggression on the therapeutic relationship.
- Appraise participant current state of cultural humility by differentiating between cultural awareness, cultural knowledge and cultural sensitivity and by using the cultural proficiency continuum.
-Identify skills and tools to integrate participant insights regarding cultural and social determinants of health
