<strong>BSHS</strong> <strong>422</strong> Week 5 Learning Team Cultural Competency Assessment of a<br />
Community Based Program Presentation<br />
Select a community-based program and arrange to make a site visit to conduct an<br />
assessment of its cultural competency using the cultural competence assessment<br />
that the team chooses (you may use the same assessment chosen in week 3 if it is<br />
appropriate for an agency or you may choose another assessment). The team<br />
should choose a national agency which has locations or branches in each team<br />
member‟s local area. You may also choose to assess an agency online if all<br />
information is available on their website but this must still be a national agency or<br />
organization.<br />
Write a minimum 5-page (does not include title page or reference page) paper that<br />
reports your method, findings, and evaluation of the overall competency of the<br />
agency. It should also include recommendations for areas of improvement of the<br />
agency‟s cultural competency based on the weaknesses identified by the<br />
assessment used to evaluate this organization. In addition to this also include the<br />
following information:<br />
1. A brief history of the site (agency)<br />
2. The population served<br />
3. The services offered<br />
4. A mission statement<br />
5. Demographics<br />
• Staff and client makeup<br />
• Annual budget<br />
• Source of budget<br />
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides) with speaker notes.
Format your paper according to APA standards<br />

Case Study<br />
Esmeralda Trujillo, 35, has lived in your community for six months with her four<br />
children, ages 4, 6, 10, and 15. The family is living with relatives in a small house<br />
on the outskirts of the city, and they cannot stay there much longer. In Guatemala,<br />
Esmeralda lived with her husband, had a garden that virtually fed the family, and<br />
spent part of her time weaving and sewing garments to sell at the local market. Her<br />
husband left to look for work “up north” and she has not heard from him for five<br />
months. Esmeralda has a chronic cough and a skin rash. She speaks very little<br />
English. She has found occasional work cleaning houses, but it has not been<br />
enough to support her and the children. She has come to your agency asking for<br />
help and you are her case worker. Your job is to help her obtain the services she<br />
needs.<br />
Answer each of the following questions in numbered separate paragraphs<br />
corresponding to the question.<br />
1). What do you need to find out about Esmeralda and her family in order to create<br />
the most comprehensive treatment plan? Consider all important areas that effect<br />
Esmeralda and her children‟s overall wellbeing based on the information given in
the case study. Be specific and identify and list what areas need to be included in<br />
Esmeralda‟s treatment plan.How will you find out this information?<br />
2). What are the psychological, medical, and social issues both she and her<br />
children may be facing? Be specific.<br />
3). What do you need to know about her cultural values/beliefs that may effect the<br />
delivery of social services? Why is it important to know this information as her<br />
case worker? How will you obtain that information?<br />
4). How do you approach her in a culturally sensitive way based on what you know<br />
about her cultural beliefs and values? What pitfalls must you avoid in order to be<br />
the most culturally competent service provider?<br />
5). Knowing what you know so far, what services might be helpful for Esmeralda<br />
and her children based on the needs you have identified in Question 1? What are<br />
the names of specific agencies or resources that you might refer her to in order to<br />
meet her most important needs?<br />

and face alienation from his or her family or if they are depressed, anxious, have<br />
substance abuse issues, anger management issues or have other mental health or<br />
social problems? Consider all of the issues present that this character is faced with<br />

how the services you are recommending are culturally competent.<br />

as, the benefits and drawbacks of the character(s) culture as they experience it. For
