We all want to have the ability to respond sensitively, respectfully and effectively to clients
and families in all of their diversity. The ultimate goal is for a practitioner, team and
agency or service to apply equitable, effective and culturally appropriate knowledge and
skills, in other words, competencies, into clinical work. This means we need a framework
to understand how we do that and the engagement, creativity and organizational
support to deliver services in a culturally competent and equitable manner. At its best,
clinical cultural competence is a method to move this framework from idea to practice.
Practitioners’ genuine interest in meeting the needs of diverse populations is a positive
driving force to tackle this potentially complex terrain.
