Training Description
Assessing one’s cultural identify as well as experiences of discrimination and oppression become crucial with foster youth and their families. Without this understanding, it will be a challenge to meet them where they are at and understand the experiences they’ve had and are having. In this training, we will talk about the ways in which culture influences us and ways to increase assessment of culture, including discrimination, during the intake process. Participants will also be able to learn how to complete a culturalgram with youth and their families to gain a better understanding of their cultural influences.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to describe the importance of assessing one’s culture with foster youth.
Participants will be able to identify at least one strategy to assess one’s cultural influences.
