Assignment: Cultural Competence
As with all areas of the social work process, cultural
competence is essential when engaging and assessing a child’s
concerns. Being culturally competent includes understanding
the unique needs of your client and asking how those needs can
be fulfilled. Using an empowerment perspective treating clients
as experts on their lives and their needs is essential. Not only
does this establish your commitment to being culturally
sensitive and aware, but it will enhance the therapeutic
relationship. While it is essential to learn and master social
work skills and techniques to be a successful practitioner,
another significant indicator of a successful intervention is the
relationship a social worker builds with his or her client. Some
research suggests that the quality of the therapeutic relationship
will account for 30% of the clinical outcome of the treatment
(Miller, Duncan, and Hubble, 2005, as stated in Walsh, 2010, p.
7). Exhibiting a dedication to learning about a client’s culture,
history, and current environmental factors exemplifies a social
worker’s desire to build that client–worker bond.
For this Assignment, read the case study for Claudia and find
two to three scholarly articles on social issues surrounding
immigrant families.
In a 2- to 3-page paper, explain how the literature informs you
about Claudia and her family when assessing her situation.
·
Describe two social issues related to the course-specific case
study for Claudia that inform a culturally competent social
worker.
·
Describe culturally competent strategies you might use to assess
the needs of children.
·
Describe the types of data you would collect from Claudia and
her family in order to best serve them.
·
Identify other resources that may offer you further information
about Claudia’s case.
·
Create an eco-map to represent Claudia’s situation. Describe
how the ecological perspective of assessment influenced how
the social worker interacted with Claudia.
·
Describe how the social worker in the case used a strengths
perspective and multiple tools in her assessment of Claudia.
Explain how those factors contributed to the therapeutic
relationship with Claudia and her family.
