Fundamentals of a culturally responsive practice
People from cuturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds experience multiple barriers when accessing services and supports. Culturally responsive practice training is a reflective process which will help participants gain insight into their own culture, behaviours and organisational practices to make their services more culturally responsive to people from CALD backgrounds experiencing gambling harm.
This workshop will build participants capability to be more confident when working with cultural diversity. It will help participants gain a better understanding of how culture informs people’s understanding, attitudes and beliefs about gambling and will explore strategies to better engage CALD individuals, respond to cultural differences and work collaboratively to minimise gambling harm.
The training will be delivered as two (3-hour) online sessions over two days (19 and 27 July).
Content includes:
- gambling in CALD communities
- a framework for culturally responsive practice
- unpacking ‘culture’ and finding the common ground to work collaboratively
- management of unconscious bias
- an examination of power and privilege
- personal identity and diversity within diversity
- intersectionality and addressing disadvantage
- contributors to gambling related harm vulnerability in CALD communities
- minimisation of misunderstanding through examining cultural explanatory models of gambling
- strategies for minimising gambling harm for CALD communities
