Understanding someone's cultural context is key to understanding and supporting them as a whole person. How do they view the world? What role does their community play in their lives? How does their culture influence the way they interact with health and social care professionals?
Expert authors, recognised for their work in cultural competence across the legal, psychological, mental health and social work fields, share how to bring their pioneering techniques into your service. Topics range from the pervasive effects of racism to practicalities like ensuring interpreters speak the correct dialect of a language. Each chapter explores how to engage with service users' culture and adopt a flexible approach based in mutual understanding.
The frameworks and advice in this guide are proven through successful practice. They offer effective ways to bring cultural competence into your work and support people from every community.
