Cultural diversity is not an option anymore:
​it is an unavoidable opportunity and challenge.

​

As a medical doctor and licensed psychotherapist, I know that cultural values play a crucial role in understanding and relating to patients, clients and employees from different cultures.

​In a globalized, hyper-connected world, intercultural and cross cultural competence is vital when working with people of different ethnicity, nationality, religion, race, age, gender, and sexual orientation.

WHY IS CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE  BETTER 
FOR HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONERS
COMPARED TO EXISTENT CULTURAL COMPETENCE MODEL?
  • It is an evidence-based cultural competence model: 
    - tested across multiple samples, times, and cultures;
    - p
    eer-reviewed and published in over 70 international academic journals, across a variety of disciplines. 

  • It uses specific culture metrics that assess the progress and outcome of any cultural competence training offered.
    ​

  • It is more than just knowledge: it explores the social-psychological dynamics, in addition to sociological differences in cultural beliefs, values, behaviors and expectations.
