Description

This live and interactive workshop satisfies the Cultural Competence requirement for social workers.

Religion and spirituality are dimensions of culture that can be salient sources of healing and hope, as well as hurt. At the same time, practitioners may feel unsure about how to respond to matters of faith and spirituality, due in large part to the lack of skill-building opportunities in these topics. As a result, they end up avoiding these aspects of a person’s experience in an effort to not overstep boundaries, practice outside of one’s skills, or cause harm. This can be especially alienating for people who identify as religious or spiritual, or come from communities with strong roots in faith institutions.

This live and interactive webinar will provide information, tools, and resources for practitioners to increase their self-awareness, practice talking with others about their experiences with religion and spirituality using established tools, as well as practice applying cultural responsiveness to matters of religion, faith, and spirituality in the context of person-centered care.

 Learning Objectives:

As a result of participating in this session, individuals will be able to:

  • Consider religion, faith, and/or spirituality as a dimension of culture.
  • Name the three core components involved in developing cultural responsiveness to matters of religion, belief, and spirituality
  • Introduce and administer a spiritual history tool as part of person-centered care
