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 services 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 Proficiency 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.
