\nDiscussion: Cultural Sensitivity in the Workplace and Community
\nEvery human and social services organization may be thought of as its own small ecosystem, operating within the larger ecosystem of the community it serves. The cultural backgrounds of the employees that work at an organization, as well as those of the clients served by the organization, can potentially form a complex matrix of interactions. As professionals bound by laws (e.g., Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and by various codes of ethics that are profession-specific (e.g., the NOHS standards), human and social services professionals and the agencies they work within are committed to nondiscrimination and ethical adherence.
\nThere is, however, a difference between adhering to laws and ethics and providing truly culturally sensitive services for client populations. For this Discussion, you explore agency guidelines related to culture and cultural sensitivity and look for possible violations of these guidelines (some of which may be unintentional or well-meaning).
\nTo Prepare:<\/p>\n
Choose a local human or social services agency that you are familiar with and find at least one possible violation of the agency\u2019s guidelines with respect to cultural sensitivity.
\nConsider the following questions as you review the agency\u2019s guidelines:<\/p>\n
Are there professionals who come from the same ethnic groups served?
\nAre professionals given training on self-reflection in order to be aware of potential bias or or imposing their own values?
\nAre alternative healing practices needed and implemented?
\nHow do the cultures in this community view mental health?
\nAre assessments biased in terms of worldview or linguistic accessibility?
\nAre interpreters available for all language groups?
\nAre there cultural differences in symptoms or disorders?
\nAre microaggressions evident?
\nAre services restricted based on religious principles?
\nAre there rules that may apply unequally between women and men?<\/p>\n
Post\u00a0a description of the agency you chose. Next, explain how this agency addresses the issues of ethics training in relation to maintaining appropriate boundaries and cultural sensitivity. Give an example of how the agency responded to a possible violation of their guidelines. Explain how you would have addressed the situation differently and why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
