Culturally diverse clients often face barriers to accessing and using health and education services, which may affect the clients’ performance outcomes and impact the quality of services. These barriers include practitioners’ insufficient cultural competence and humility and an ineffective health care system. The Cultural Humility program aims to train and educate occupational therapy practitioners to gain confidence and improve their cultural humility and practical communication skills to maintain, establish, and manage therapeutic relationships. The program duration will be twelve 2-hour biweekly sessions over 6 months, in person at clinical settings or on a virtual platform. The program includes learning modules, such as lectures, simulation or video modeling, and discussion sessions with brain-based learning for occupational therapy practitioners. The program will provide meaningful opportunities for practitioners to reflect on their practice attitudes, gain confidence, change their mindsets, and learn practical communication skills for use with clients from various cultural backgrounds. The aim of the Cultural Humility program is to apply these practical techniques related to cultural humility, bringing synergy and authenticity to practitioners’ daily practice, and improving their clients’ performance and outcomes.
