Workshop – Culturally Competent Crisis Response

This 4-hour workshop will provide participants with practical tools and strategies for improving cultural competence. The workshop begins by defining relevant terms and concepts including culture, cultural identity, intersectionality, and marginalization. Participants then learn strategies for deepening cultural understanding, developing self-awareness, enhancing communication and listening, strengthening empathy, demonstrating adaptability, and committing to learning. Through discussion, interactive exercises, and guided reflection, participants apply the Principles of Cultural Competence across a broad spectrum of cultural identities.
