How does Cultural Competency benefit children? |
Providing culturally competent services can benefit children in many ways. A culturally competent organization should experience less cross–cultural miscommunication, assess behavior more accurately, and ultimately provide more effective services and interventions. The author of "Meeting the needs of ethnic minority children" provides several examples illustrating how cultural competency can benefit children. The article is published byTranscultural Mental Health On Line, a peer reviewed online journal. However, anyone who works with children in cross–cultural contexts may find the article helpful.
