Discuss: What is the difference between cultural
humility and cultural competence? How can practicing cultural humility aid you in connecting with your clients? In what ways can awareness of your own cultural identity be both beneficial and problematic when working with someone from the same ethnic and socioeconomic background as yourself? How does it feel when there is cultural familiarity? How does that differ from when someone talking to you thinks they know about your background just from reading about a group to which you identify?
Pt 2: Briefly discuss ways in which learning something about a group of people different than yourself can be helpful to practice. Pick an oppressed group about which you feel your knowledge base is lacking. Discuss reasons why you may not have adequate knowledge about that group. What steps can you take to increase your understanding of them and the ways in which they
experience oppression?
