Framework for Practice
The framework is your
blueprint for practice. It guides
practice; it can
change with
each family.
![Page 11: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 12: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Benefits of a Framework
Using this framework can lead to more effective and efficient compliance with
• ASFA
• ICWA
• Cultural Competence
• Family-Focus
![Page 13: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stories
What we see by looking at a person is the tip of the iceberg:
Each person has a STORY, just as each of us has our own story
RELATIONSHIPS are the foundation
of our work with families
![Page 14: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TRUST
Listening to & understanding another person’s story builds a trusting relationship
In focus groups, we heard repeatedly that above all, parents want to be respected
![Page 15: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Building Blocks
Listening to someone’s story helps us develop empathy and be seen as genuine
When we view others as part of a family, a community, a culture and a society, we increase our mutual respect
![Page 16: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Professional Helping Relationship
The PHR is the primary vehicle to promoting lasting change
It is our strongest tool to promote, support and attain the child welfare goals of safety and family preservation.
![Page 17: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Your casework
You have control of
how you interact with families
![Page 18: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
STORIES
To work effectively with families, we must acknowledge how the family may respond to us and our involvement in their lives.
When we know the families’ stories, it helps us to understand how they view us.
![Page 19: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
STORIES
Knowing the story of how Native American children were removed from families and communities and never returned can help
workers understand that it may be difficult
for Native American families to develop trusting relationships with “helpers.”
![Page 20: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Challenges
Work in the child welfare field includes working with many systems
What are they?
![Page 21: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cultures
Other systems bring other agendas to cases
Example from the group:
Case where child welfare agenda was different than the agenda of another system involved with the family
How did that work out?
![Page 22: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Culture
Each of these systems has its “culture”
Culture is the sharing of knowledge and meaning which influences beliefs and behaviors
![Page 23: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Definition of Culture
Culture is a symbolically transmitted design for
living. It includes language, class, race, ethnic
background, religion, and other diverse factors
that are taught
and shared
by a group of people.
![Page 24: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cultural Competence
Cultural Competence is:
• A Process
• Learn to respond respectfully and effectively to all people,
• Affirms and values their worth
• Protects and preserves the dignity of each.
![Page 25: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cultural Competency
• This training is nested in the concepts of Cultural Competency.
• Cultural competence is an on-going process with many aspects.
• A person can be competent with some cultures and not with others.
![Page 26: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
RESPECT
What do you think of when you hear the word “respect?”
![Page 27: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RESPECT
Respect = respectare
A Latin word meaning to “to look again” or “to look with new eyes.”
![Page 28: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cultural Competence
Three legs of cultural competence:
Respect Skills & Knowledge
CULTURAL COMPETENCE
![Page 29: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge = the second leg underpinning cultural competence.
You won’t know every thing about every culture; you are willing to learn about other cultures in order to interact with them appropriately.
![Page 30: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SKILLS
Skills = the third support to cultural competency1. Skills are demonstrated by behaviors:
– Good communication– Following customs– Respecting traditions
2. Evidence of skills include:– pictures and artwork reflecting
diverse cultures and races.
![Page 31: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cultural Competence
• Cultural competence is a progression toward being more comfortable with cultures, our own and others.
• Two models of cultural competency:
1. Cross Model
2. Bennett Model
![Page 32: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cross Model of Cultural Competency
• The Cross Model (Developed by Terry Cross)
– Based on the history and experience of Native Americans
– Initially for organizations
– Later adapted to individuals
– Identifies six stages of cultural competence
• A copy of the Cross Model is in your workbook.
![Page 33: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Bennett Model of Cultural Competency
• Six stages – A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism
• Ethnocentric: The belief that one’s own culture is and should be dominant; it is the “best” or “right” culture.
• Ethnorelative: The recognition of other cultures, and appreciation for how one’s own culture is related to other cultures; it is “different” not “better than” others.
![Page 34: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bennett Model
The six stages are:
Ethnocentric:
1. Denial
2. Defense
3. Minimization
Ethnorelative:
4.Acceptance
5.Adaptation
6.Integration
![Page 35: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dimensions of Diversity
Dimensions of diversity at many levels
• MICRO-Level (Core/primary)
• MEZZO-Level (Secondary/Organizational)
• MACRO-Level (Era)
![Page 36: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dimensions of Diversity
![Page 37: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Diversity Wheel
In your workbook you have a Dimensions of Diversity worksheet
Identify three areas on the Diversity Wheel that stand out as personally important to you
![Page 38: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dimensions of Diversity
At your tables, share WHY they are important to you and then we will talk about it with the
whole group
![Page 39: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Self-Assessment
Self-Assessment is a critical component in the process of cultural competency.
The Bennett Model and the Diversity Wheel are tools which guide self-assessment.
Next we will learn a framework to guide our practice so that it is Family-centered
![Page 40: Expanding the Family Circle - University at Albany€¦ · Bennett Model of Cultural Competency • Six stages –A continuum from ethnocentric to ethnorelativism • Ethnocentric:](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b1f2b7a7f8b9af1328c4d54/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
