Unintentional cultural offenses and misunderstandings often contribute to disconnected personal and professional relationships. Unfortunately, professionals in various fields often feel paralyzed by the fear that they don’t know enough about other cultures to try to effectively support those different than themselves. This training will help reduce those fears by providing an attainable goal for increasing cultural competence, as well as reducing the negative impact of unavoidable cultural misunderstandings on professional rapport and effectiveness. This positive and encouraging, shame-free, relationship-focused training will provide practical language and strategies that can help reduce tensions and perceived barriers, and help strengthen cross-cultural relationships.
Monday Morning Moments is generously sponsored by OurFamilyWizard. The goal of the NCJFCJ’s Wellness-Connection-Leadership Initiative is to promote judicial well-being and to help court professionals develop strategies to mitigate the impact of stress that is inherent in the work. It is vital to remember the power of connectedness and centering one’s self for leadership. We all share the NCJFCJ’s mission, vision, and the confidence that there are thousands of us in the court system who are working, in the best way we can, on behalf of children, families, survivors, and victims of violence.
