Led by licensed clinical social worker and WSU School of Social Work part-time faculty member Cassandra Bowers, PhD, LCSW, this training will explore cultural humility and cultural competence. It will examine the basic concepts of cultural competence and cultural humility, the impact each has on the child and family systems of care, and the concept of positionality when providing services. As a result of this workshop, participants will be prepared to recognize implicit biases contributing to discrimination, plan for improved practice related to cultural competence; nurture intrapersonal, interpersonal and system-level cultural humility simultaneously; and develop an awareness of personal cultural beliefs while examining perceptions of cultural differences.
