Implementing Cultural Competency in Work with Native American Children and Families: From Concept to Practice (Skills Seminar H)
Implementing Cultural Competency in Work with Native American
Children and Families: From Concept to Practice
(Skills Seminar H)
Cultural competency is a key requirement for appropriate work with families in which child abuse or neglect has occurred. This skills seminar addresses the gap between conceptual understanding of cultural expectations of Native American families and implementing that understanding in client interaction when child abuse and/or neglect may be a problem within the family. Presenters provide a conceptual framework that encompasses the many cultural issues that have an effect on behavior and interaction in Native American families, including differences in communication styles, special aspects of extended family/clan/tribe relationships, and the impact of levels of acculturation on family interaction. The seminar includes experiential learning exercises, small group discussion, and role play of family vignettes.
