Cultural Sensitivity Training
| Cultural Sensitivity is a term used to describe an awareness and appreciation of the multiple factors that may influence the values and perspectives of individual families and children. Culturally sensitive practices are particularly important to educators, community workers, and health care personnel, due to the increasing number of minority-group children in the United States. The Hispanic Institute of Social Issues understands the need to be consistent with the values and beliefs of some families and children. Educators, community workers, and health care personnel are, therefore, challenged to explore flexible and culturally sensitive approaches to working with families in ways that can enhance effective communication, build trusting relationships, and open the doors for important family involvement. Accordingly, HISI has developed and successfully facilitated a Cultural Awareness Training to meet theses challenges and needs. |
