There are many different cultures in Dallas TX. We have all different races and ethnicity and we have a large LGBTQ community as well. There is a big recovery community that I am a part of that often gets stigmatized. I feel I can stay connected with all different cultures and sub cultures by attending local functions in the community as well as being educated on different cultures Being open minded and treating people as individuals and respecting their values and beliefs will help me connect with clients and help me assess them for the future. Always having a non judgmental perspective is necessary in this field.
Why is culture so important when working with a client? How might this change the way you engage with them?
