Culturally Competent Community Care

 Care is culture. Learn practical ways to ask with care, honor tradition, and make every interaction more welcoming—across identities, languages, and beliefs.

You’ll learn:

• Culture-check micro-skills — how to ask (with consent), avoid assumptions, and center the person’s words.
• Pronouns & names — intros, corrections, and graceful repair when mistakes happen.
• Care agreements — capturing access needs, food/herb/faith notes, privacy, and photo consent.
• Harm-repair — short, trauma-informed apologies and moving on without re-centering yourself.
• Bias micro-interventions — quick bystander flows for meetings, group chats, and clinics.
   

You’ll leave with:

• Culture-check guide (what to ask / what to avoid)
• Pronoun & name protocol (intros, corrections, missteps)
• Care-agreement template (access, food/herb/faith, privacy)
• Do/Don’t language bank for everyday use
• Harm-repair script kit (1:1, group, email/text)
• Quick bystander flow to address bias in the moment
• Trauma-informed intake sample (inclusive fields)
• Referral map template for culturally specific providers
