Cross Cultural Skills

Course Description

This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to appreciate and understand the knowledge, attitudes, and basic skills that are necessary in the development and delivery of effective social services to a diverse urban population. Students will learn about how culture influences their own personal values and beliefs as well as that of their clients and how similarities and differences in values and beliefs can lead to conflict. To promote effective interventions that promote advocacy and client empowerment students will examine both the multi-cultural as well as the anti-oppression frameworks to service delivery and intervention.
