Cultural Competency Secrets to Success with Immigrant Families

Описание: Cultural Competency Secrets to Success with Immigrant Families: Spreading and Adapting 2Gen Working Practices

Developing cultural competence is important for everyone, but it is especially vital for providers and collaborations who work with immigrant and refugee families to better understand the cultural norms of their customers. Cultural competence means thinking critically about how services are offered to children and parents and how staff are hired and trained — and it extends to a focus on culturally-sensitive mental health and well-being for families, as well as staff. Through this hard work, a more equitable community is established. But what are the secrets to success that 2Gen efforts should use to make all their work culturally appropriate and relevant?

Tune in to the fourth event in the Spreading and Adapting 2Gen Working Practices series to see how providers are learning cultural competency to better connect with and understand the worldview of the immigrant families they serve. The conversation explores issues of gender norms, trauma-informed care, immigrant and refugee mental health, and financial literacy. Speakers share how they have navigated the needs of different groups they serve, including Arab-American, Somali, and Vietnamese families.
