Application Assignment: Cultural Competence in Counseling

Your work with clients benefits substantially from understanding cultural competence. Recognizing culturally competent practices before you begin to develop skills in this area is imperative. Understanding how your cultural differences intersect with your client and remaining mindful of your own assumptions and worldview have an influence on your counseling relationships.

Review the Learning Resources and focus on one of the mini–case studies (MCFC students, please choose one of the MCFC case scenarios) to complete your Assignment. Imagine you are the counselor for the individual in the case study and consider your own cultural competence within the counseling session.

The Assignment:

In a 2- to 3-page paper:

· Select one mini–case study from the Learning Resources for this Assignment that represents a cultural group different from your own.

· Imagine you are the counselor for the individual in the case study you selected and describe how you are culturally different from that person.

· Explain how you might demonstrate cultural competence, providing examples to support your response.

· Based on your current level of self-awareness, knowledge, and skill related to cultural competence, provide one or more strategies you could use to improve your cultural competence with this client.
