Counseling Division
Certificate of Completion: Multicultural Awareness/Relations for the Service
Provider
This certificate has been designed to provide Students an introduction to multicultural
theory and Psychology-Counseling skills needed to work as a service provider
in a social setting. The student will conduct a self-assessment and self-reflection
component, as part of the skill set. A self-assessment needs to be made in relationship
to the culturally diverse community and world in which we currently live but
also to evaluate service providers' internalized values which may affect their
provision of services in a non-judgmental process. Students completing this
certificate of achievement will investigate a variety of multicultural issues
and concepts, which can affect social service delivery, evaluate themselves
within the context of the diverse culture, further their inquiry into a cultural
area of personal interest, and complete a course specifically targeted to Psychology-Counseling
issues/skills as they relate to a multicultural community.
