Free training opportunity - Cultural competence and humility for health and social care staff and volunteers in Wakefield
Free places are available to partners working and volunteering in health and social care across Wakefield, providing an opportunity for people to share their experiences and learn from others. This training will be delivered face to face over three hours and will be delivered locally. Find out more about understanding culture both individually and within a wider social context and also cultural humility. The training will be delivered in a participatory way and aims to create a safe space for people to have conversations.
Some of the areas that will be explored will include:
- Understanding what is meant by ‘culture’ and why it is important for health professionals to be aware of how this can impact health.
- Awareness of our own cultural norms, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours.
- Understanding the impact cultural differences might have on interactions with others.
- Examining our own personal biases, stereotypes and prejudices.
- Understanding what unconscious bias is.
- Become comfortable with “not knowing” – balancing expert knowledge with being open to learning from the community and people’s lived experiences.
All trainers will take a participatory approach to this training and very much support participants in becoming comfortable with not knowing and to encourage learning from the community and people’s lived experiences.
More dates coming soon.
