Cultural competence is the ability to understand, communicate with and effectively interact with people across any given culture. Birth workers will leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of the possible hardships, generational trauma and discrimination that impact their clients’ birth experience and gain the tools to serve, advocate and uplift their clients from backgrounds/races/cultures outside of their own. Gain an understanding and recognition of how we may be complicit in the system and what to do to move from ally to co-conspirator.
