The purpose of this training is for child welfare stakeholders to increase their awareness and knowledge of issues related to culture and bias and understand how these issues influence interactions, services, treatment and decisions in child welfare. Culture is the embodiment of who we are; how we live our lives; shared history and experiences; and our world views. Attention to characteristics of culture will increase stakeholders' understanding of their own perspectives and biases, as well as those of the families with whom they work. The training will also help stakeholders reflect on and understand the cultural needs and values of those families that are culturally different.
