Cultural Humility: Moving Beyond Competence to Intentional Practice

Cultural Humility: Moving Beyond Competence to Intentional Practice

Cultural humility in social work extends beyond simply understanding specific cultural or minority groups. It is a dynamic approach that calls on providers to remain mindful of how their own culturally ingrained beliefs, values, and biases may influence their interactions with clients from diverse backgrounds, whether related to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other identities. By engaging in ongoing self-reflection, social workers can cultivate greater self-awareness and enhance the therapeutic relationship by honestly evaluating how their own perspectives and limitations impact each session and client connection.

This event invites you to delve into the concept of cultural humility and how it can transform your interactions. So, join us for a day of learning, reflection, and growth. Discover how to move beyond mere competence to truly embody intentional practice in your work. See you there!

Learning objectives:

• Illustrate the different elements of cultural humility
• Differentiate cultural humility and multicultural competency
• Explain cultural humility as an essential part of social work, including core components and key considerations
• Identify factors that can interfere with the therapeutic relationship
