What ethnic and cultural background practitioners of the TBOSS program have?
Are practitioners of the TBOSS program sensitive to the culture of the individuals they serve?
Hypothesis 1:
When practitioners and clients have matching ethnic and cultural background treatment is more effective.
Hypothesis 2:
When sensitive to client’s culture practitioner can build a better rapport and service outcomes.
Culture acts like a filter through which people perceive the world. If a practitioner is unaware of a client’s culture, there will be a great chance for misunderstanding (Grinnell et al., 2012). According to the President’s New Freedom Commission’s Final Report (New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, 2003) racial and ethnic minorities by 2025 …show more content…

Therefore the level of service delivery can directly be affected by the educational factors. The CSWE mandated that BSW programs prepare students for “generalist practice” approach compare to the MSW curriculum that prepares students for advanced practice and expertise in specific areas (CSWE, 2008). According to the Senreich and Straussner (2013) generalist practice in BSW education doesn’t prepare students for effective practice with different populations because there are no specific evidence-based skills learned. The main concern is whether or not interns with bachelor’s degree in different field who deliver services in TBOSS program are as affective as graduate students with an MSW, or practitioners with post-masters clinical license. Senreich and Straussner (2013) state that for delivering effective treatment in working with clients it is necessary to implement evidence-based interventions. Their research suggests that students with BSW have only modest knowledge and attitudes when working with certain populations. Dorfman et al. (2008), when comparing BSW and MSW student outcomes found that students with an MSW have significantly greater knowledge in overall means and in physical, psychological, social, and economic areas.

As the discuss in individual supervision practitioners appreciate individual attention, case specific direction and process of development skills, when in group supervision practitioners value support of the group members and deeper exploration of the particular interventions. Kadushin and Harkness found that practitioners prefer individual supervision over group supervision, however, when receiving individual supervision they tend to seek support from their colleagues with different levels of expertise. Individual supervision is preferred because of the negative behaviors when receiving group supervision related to the group members interactions. Practitioners are found to be more effective and were able to develop more skills when receiving both individual and group supervision, compared to group supervision alone that only helped them to achieve

Humans are complex and diverse beings that belong to different cultures, speak different languages, and have different perspectives on the world they live in. When cultures collide, it can be difficult to empathize and respect the differences that exist. Cultural sensitivity is, “The ability to be appropriately responsive to the attitudes, feelings, or circumstances of groups of people that share a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic or cultural heritage” (Arnold & Boggs, 2016, p. 119). Cultural sensitivity and effective communication, especially in the health care setting, are essential to bridging cultures and creating a common understanding.

(b) What culturally diverse attitudes and beliefs do you accept or reject and why? (c) What dominant cultural attitudes and beliefs do you accept or reject and why? and (d) How do your current attitudes and beliefs affect your interaction with other culturally diverse clients and people of the dominant culture?

We should be mindful of this specific populations cultural beliefs and practices, avoid making assumptions, respect them to build trust especially with immigrant Latinos. There should also be culturally appropriate resources which are tailored to Latino Populations such as providing outreach services in rural communities that may have limited access to mental health services. From a universalistic point of view of health, fixing the source of this problem relies heavily on improving competency practices in health care culturally.

Cultural competence is the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures, with sensitivity to their beliefs, customs, and values. It requires knowledge of one's own culture as well as an understanding and appreciation of other cultures. It also involves being aware of one's biases and assumptions and being open to learning about different cultures. It encourages more open dialogue about mental health within Latinx communities, which can help to reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment. By creating an environment where it is socially acceptable to talk about mental health, more people will be likely to seek help and treatment, leading to better long-term outcomes for individuals and their

The world is a diverse population, with people coming from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A person’s views, values, and traditions determine their daily needs and practices. So, healthcare providers face certain challenges and restrictions because a patient’s belief may inhibit professionals from providing the most effective care. Therefore, cultural competence is an important idea for healthcare providers to consider when understanding and respecting patients. Balcazar, Suarez-Balcazar, and Taylor-Ritzler (2009) noted in “Cultural competence:

Introduction When looking at individual groups, communities, cultures, and/or ethnicities, you must consider various factors into how they are perceived by others and how they perceive others. Every population can be broken down into various subgroups and each subgroup can be broken down further. Every subgroup is going to have its own unique set of experiences created by differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and more. Some groups are represented more than others in the news, on social media, in academia, and so on. It is important as counselors to be aware of how people’s experiences are unique based on their culture and who they are holistically.

“Anything that has meaning to a person can be viewed as a cultural resource”. (McLeod, J. 2015). As a novice counsellor I have personally encountered the difficulties of encouraging clients to access their own cultural resources, mainly due to them viewing me as the expert and them being unaware of the fact that they can have agency and their own preferences within the counselling relationship. Another difficulty to overcome is to help the client realise that they can have access to these resources, but have not been in a frame of mind which would enable this, due to their specific issues in daily life. One of the major benefits of actively using cultural resources with clients is that it provides them with a stage on which they can pursue
