CEU Course Description

This course defines cultural competence, presents a rationale for pursuing it, and describes the process of becoming culturally competent and responsive to client needs.  In addition, it highlights the consensus panel’s core assumptions and introduces a framework, adapting Sue’s (2001) multidimensional model of cultural competence as the guiding model.  Finally, a broad overview of the concepts integral to an understanding of race, ethnicity, and culture is discussed.
