We live in a world filled with people from different places and cultural backgrounds. Recognizing and accommodating these differences results in better communication. Understanding your clients and coworkers will enhance the services you provide while improving your effectiveness and that of your team. Cultural competency honors the multiple strengths that people with different backgrounds bring to an organization. 

This training offers a pragmatic approach to understanding and working with differences in the workplace, stemming from:

• Age
  
• Gender
  
• Race
  
• Culture
  
• Socioeconomic level
  
• Disability
  
• Business culture
  
• Religion
  
• Sexual orientation
  

Being culturally competent will help you better serve your clients. It will assist in designing intake and planning processes which
honor all cultures, including yours and that of your organization.

Participants will:

• reflect on personal cultural competency and how you've changed or expanded your knowledge
  
• examine your and your agency's work/service practice through a cultural competency lens
  
• build on your understanding of the 'culture' of your clients and identify bridge building strategies to overcome barriers 
  
• learn strategies for immediate practice in intake, goal setting. home visits and moving forward
