HHS 320 Cultural Awareness in the Human Services WK5-1

 Cultural Competence 

After reading the chapter and the section on cultural competencies  (p. 209 – 214), select two videos to view from the Multimedia list on  the Week Five Resources page list provided on the website. All videos  are located in the Ashford University Library’s PsychTHERAPY database.  The videos are grouped based on the video titles; however, clients in  the videos may identify with more than one of the categories listed. See  the instructions on How to Locate a Video in PsychTHERAPY.  After viewing, discuss the video’s content in relation to cultural  competencies. Describe how you would proceed to treat the cases  identified in the videos in a culturally effective manner.  Your  response must be 250-300 words. Support your comments with two scholarly  references.
