Dr. Arredondo describes cultural competency development as a human development process, as well as a learning process of becoming more culturally competent. She posits that cultural competency development involves 1) self-awareness of our own values, our biases, our belief systems, our traditions, and our emotions, 2) Development of knowledge and context, 3) Clinical skills to use with our clients. Dr. Arredondo and the hosts further discuss the importance of recognizing intersecting identities of individuals and families that we work with.
