Health professionals worry about what to say and what not to say in when working with diverse people and their cultures. Are we aware and knowledgable enough to work with different populations? Are we being led by our biases? We treat individual people, not cultures. However, for us to provide the best functional intervention we need information about our clients and their families communication styles and preferences. We also need effective communications with the other members of our interdisciplinary teams, each of which will have their own personal and cultural backgrounds. This seminar will focus on the use of narratives to help our clients tell their stories to health professionals as well as the essential narratives between the healthcare interdiscplinary team. We cannot know everyone's story but we can work to learn to listen better so we can provide the best person-centered and culturally responsive services to those we serve.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrate knowledge of the apprehensions and challenges in communicating with diverse populations.
- Demonstrate knowledge of the power of personal narratives to promote positive communication with clients/families and within the interdisciplinary team.
- Demonstrate knowledge of their own narratives and how to use narratives in their own work settings.
