Cultural competence is a process by which social workers respond respectfully and effectively to clients from diverse backgrounds and address some of the harmful effects of the oppression of marginalized groups. ... The findings are organized into four categories: professional, personal, process, and power. The "professional" findings describe the strengths and shortcomings of graduate school in preparing social workers to work across difference. The "personal" findings describe participants' motivation to practice cultural competence, their view of cultural competence as a relational stance, their belief in starting with self-awareness, and the impact of some of their social locations. The "process" findings explore the evolving definition of cultural competence and the development of participants' abilities over time and with experience. The "power" findings discuss the agency and the societal contexts in which social workers practice, the presence of power and cultural differences, and the immense impact of white privilege on their work."
