Cultural Competency for the Massage Therapist
1 hour = 1 non-contact hour CEs
We are living in an ever growing world of diversity. Our connections on one level become easier through technology, world events, and social media. Yet, we have a level of personal growth that may be lagging behind our exposure to different lifestyles, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and life experiences. This lack of interaction and the understanding of the diverse cultural world we exist in may be having a greater effect on the individuals that we work with and ourselves. Cultural Competency has its own specific identification under the bigger umbrella of Ethics and deserves a significant look in order to reach greater understanding of ourselves and our clients. This one hour workshop is designed to give you perspective on why Cultural Competency is essential to our profession. This course not only draws many valid parallels between the skill set we as massage therapists practice regularly but supports the significance of how we see our clients as the individual humans that they are.
