The Importance of Incorporating Cultural Humility in Our Work

About the Video

We serve people from a rich diversity of backgrounds and cultures. Although we know that a one-size-fits-all approach to care is ineffective, becoming culturally competent can often feel like an impossible task. However, if we do not consider our clients within the context of their culture, we risk missing the mark and being misled by our own beliefs and assumptions.

In this session Donna Shanor will invited you to adopt a lens of cultural humility, “check your own baggage” by expanding your self-awareness, and understand how culture can influence one’s experience of trauma.

Recorded in June 2020 as part of the Psychological PPE Program.
