Cultural Competence and Diversity Expansion

To be most effective, we must recognize the importance of cultural diversity work in providing effective services to
all clients. This can be done with heightened awareness of barriers to providing culturally competent services
which leads to awareness of personal cultural lenses. Come brainstorm strategies to overcome barriers to
providing effective services to diverse populations and identify ways to become more culturally competent.
