Fundamentals of Culturally Responsive Practice

Overview

Culturally responsive practice training is a reflective process which helps participants gain an insight into how their own cultural perspective impacts on their interactions with others as well as how culture influences other people’s worldview.

Through activities and facilitated conversations participants will develop strategies for effective communication, meaningful engagement, and respectful interactions which respond to the unique context of each individual and family.
