Webinar 7/9: The
Role of Culture in Person-Centered Thinking, Planning, and Practice
The movements to advance person-centered thinking and cultural
competence have evolved along parallel tracks. Every person is a cultural
being and has multiple cultural identities. Yet person-centered thinking,
planning, and practice have been slow to assemble the “pieces of the
puzzle” that link the integral role of culture in the design, delivery, and
evaluation of services and supports for this nation’s diverse populations.
This webinar will take an in-depth look at culture, its multiple
dimensions, and the essential role it plays among states, territories, and
tribal nations seeking to align their values and policies with
person-centered thinking, planning, and practice in health and human services.
It will also feature the role of culture in services and supports that are
preferred and needed from the perspective of those with lived
experience.
Participants will learn to:
- Define and differentiate
culture and cultural diversity;
- Compare the concepts
of multiple cultural identities and intersectionality and reflect
on their implications for the populations served in their state;
- Review current and emergent
demographic trends in the United States;
- Examine the Convergence of Cultural
Contexts Framework
and its relevance for systems of services and supports within states,
territories, and tribal nations;
- List at least five roles
that culture plays in person-centered thinking, planning, and
practice; and
- Listen to and reflect on
the importance of addressing culture based on the lived experience of
individuals receiving services and supports.
This webinar is the first in a four-part series that explores
cultural and linguistic competence as it relates to person-centered
thinking, planning, and practice. The series is presented by the Georgetown
University National Center for Cultural Competence and the National Center
on Advancing Person-Centered Thinking, Planning, and Practice (NCAPPS).
NCAPPS is a new initiative from the Administration for
Community Living and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to
help states, tribes, and territories to implement person-centered
practices. NCAPPS webinars are open to the public, and are geared toward
human services administrators, providers, and people who use long-term
services and supports. All
NCAPPS webinars will be recorded and archived on the NCAPPS website.
