Describe the relevance of culture and social class in social work assessments.
On May 02, 2024
Answers may vary. Ethnocultural factors influence what kinds of problems people experience, how they feel about requesting assistance, how they communicate, how they perceive the role of the professional, and how they view various approaches to solving problems. It is therefore vital that you be knowledgeable about these factors and competent in responding to them. A social worker's assessment of a clients' life situations, needs, and strengths must be viewed through the lens of cultural competence. For example, a person immigrating from another country may display psychological distress that is directly related to the migration or refugee experience. Beyond this consideration, a social worker who understands the ramifications of immigration would need to be sensitive to the complications that may arise for refugees or others whose immigration was made under forced or dire circumstances. Professionals must possess cultural sensitivity and the capacity to take many perspectives when viewing clients' situations and drawing conclusions about them.
