What is Cultural Competency?
"Cultural competency means being aware of your own cultural beliefs and values and how these may be different from other cultures—including being able to learn about and honor the different cultures of those you live and work with."
The three elements of cultural competence are:
• attitudes.
• skills.
• knowledge.
4 Steps to Becoming Culturally Competent
• Learn About Your Culture and Biases. Many of the biases we hold are unconscious, meaning we're not aware we
have them.
• Actively Listen. Active listening is a useful tool for practicing cultural competency.
• Show Interest Through Participation.
• Seek Out Cultural Knowledge.
