Week 3: Cultural Humility
As a human services practitioner, you will inevitably work with diverse cultures and ones about which you know very little. How do you ensure that you will work effectively with others from different cultures? What do you know about yourself and your own culture that will help you understand how you see the world and how the world might see you? As a professional, you must strive to acquire the knowledge and skill to display cultural humility, and that path begins with looking within yourself.
