| Description |
This training focuses on issues that may arise when serving members of the Hispanic culture, including levels of acculturation, fears about legal status, differing concepts of child-rearing practices, and multi-generational households. An interactive exchange among participants is encouraged to help uncover common strengths, challenges, barriers and unmet needs when professionals serve diverse neighborhoods. Participants are asked to share, from their own experience, what is effective in their work with Hispanic families and what particular issues are the most challenging. Strategies to strengthen families and promote healthy child-rearing practices, while honoring cultural distinctions will be discussed.
