Overview
The goal of this module is to educate professionals about culture, its impact, and how to promote culturally competent care to those who encounter disparities.Goals and Learning Outcomes
Culture affects how individuals talk about and recognize their mental health symptoms. It also affects how providers conceptualize and work with individuals with diverse backgrounds. It is important to recognize how culture influences the ways individuals and providers approach mental health. Healthcare providers should be encouraged to use interventions and strategies that assist in delivering culturally competent care.
This course will examine the reasons for healthcare disparities among culturally diverse individuals, how both the cultural backgrounds of patients and their providers can impact patients’ mental health outcomes, and what kinds of actions providers can take to provide more effective care to patients of diverse cultures.
- Distinguish between some of the different assumptions and values that mental health providers and individuals hold, which influence their approaches to mental health.
- Explain why patients of diverse cultures with mental health needs are encountering disparities.
- Select assessment and intervention strategies that promote culturally competent care.
