Cultural competence starts with self-awareness, where individuals explore their cultural background and biases.

This self-knowledge facilitates sensitive and adaptable cross-cultural interactions, promoting mutual understanding and effective communication in diverse settings.

Cultural Knowledge

Cultural Knowledge

In teen mental health treatment, gaining insight into diverse cultures is crucial.

Cultural Competence in Organizations
