Problem: Think about a time when you felt different from others or you felt singled out because of your background*race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, immigrant etc. Describe the event and accompanying thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You should describe your experiences using D's (distancing, denial, defensiveness, devaluing, and discovery). How can you apply this reflection to building multicultural competence in your own life?
Our differences can impact our practice with people or clients in the field and our personal experiences may cloud our judgement. How might you apply this knowledge to build multicultural competence in your career?
