Cultural Humility
Presented by:
Tikvah Womack, LCPC, MA-EXAT
Cultural humility is an approach to intercultural interactions that emphasizes ongoing self-reflection and self-critique in understanding and engaging with cultural differences.
Unlike cultural competence, which often focuses on acquiring specific knowledge about other cultures, this approach prioritizes an attitude of openness, lifelong learning, and empathy. It fosters respect to build effective relationships that value individual experiences and perspectives.
