Key Principle 6
CULTURAL, HISTORICAL & GENDER ISSUES
-
The physical environment reflects/honors the diverse groups in the target community
​
-
Services/reading materials are available in the languages that patients prefer
​
-
Staff training is provided re: culturally appropriate practices
​
-
Program policies and practices address issues of cultural and historical oppression
​
-
Policies and practices address specific gender-related needs in the population served
​
The practice actively moves past stereotypes and biases (based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age religion, gender-identity). Policies, protocols, and processes are responsive to the racial, ethnic, and cultural needs of individuals served and recognizes and addresses historical trauma.
