“I make a lot of poor financial decisions. None of them matter, in the long term. I will never not be poor, so what does it matter if I don't pay a thing and a half this week instead of just one thing? It's not like the sacrifice will result in improved circumstances; the thing holding me back isn't that I blow five bucks at Wendy's. It's that now that I have proven that I am a Poor Person that is all that I am or ever will be. It is not worth it to me to live a bleak life devoid of small pleasures so that one day I can make a single large purchase. I will never have large pleasures to hold on to. There's a certain pull to live what bits of life you can while there's money in your pocket, because no matter how responsible you are, you will be broke in three days anyway. When you never have enough money, it ceases to have meaning.”

Culture and identity runs deep.
![Page 14: Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and ... · Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and Awareness in Home Visits David Schultz, Ph.D., M.Div., Rebecca](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b5ce47e708231d430256d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We make assumptions about people’s characteristics and behaviors based on their culture and identity, much of which we don’t even realize. We will most fully develop rapport with our families if we become aware of these assumptions and our families’ assumptions and how they may influence our interactions.

“Bridging the communication gap [about culture] could be the most important prerequisite to building trust between visitors and family members.”

Developing Rapport
1. Not talking about your differences makes them bigger, not smaller.
2. Take the lead.
3. Acknowledge that your experiences have led to unique values/attitudes.
4. Give permission to talk about differences (over and over).
![Page 27: Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and ... · Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and Awareness in Home Visits David Schultz, Ph.D., M.Div., Rebecca](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b5ce47e708231d430256d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
You are assigned to be the family service worker for a 22-year-old mother who has three children: a 4 year old, a 3 year old, and a 1 month old. You do not have any children yourself. On your first visit, as you make small talk to get to know each other, she asks how many children you have.
![Page 28: Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and ... · Strengthening Effectiveness with Cultural Sensitivity and Awareness in Home Visits David Schultz, Ph.D., M.Div., Rebecca](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b5ce47e708231d430256d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“I’m so glad you brought that up. I don’t have children [yet]. I know it might seem strange to have someone without children talk to you about [your children]. But, I have a lot of experience working with families with children. I haven’t ever lived with the stress of having a child 24/7, though. You’re the expert on that and many other things about [your child]. I look forward to working together with you to help you with challenges that might arise and give you some ideas to see what might work for you.”

“You’ve had a lot of experience at bringing up children.” (affirmation)
“Being in charge of three children must be stressful at times.” (emotion-focused reflection)
“I’m so glad we talked about this. If you’re ever feeling that maybe I don’t understand the stress or pressures of caring for three children, please let me know. I won’t get upset.” (give permission)
“What other ways have you thought of that maybe we’ll differ in how we see things?” (open-ended question)

Pretend you are a family service worker for a 17-year-old mother of an 8-month-old. On one of your first visits you ask her how her week was, and she starts to talk excitedly about a party she went to with her friends. She ends the story with, “That’s probably more than you wanted to know. I know you’re more interested in the baby.”

“Sounds like you love getting together with friends.” (emotion-focused reflection)
“I was 17 once, too. You can tell me about the fun stuff you do…..What have you thought about how our age difference might impact how we see things?” (normalize and open-focused question)
