The purpose of this assignment is to provide insight and self-awareness into your own culture.
When reflecting on your culture, consider components of yourself such as race, ethnicity, religion, spiritual heritage, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, socioeconomic status, traditions, and family heritage. You are not required to include any information you do not feel comfortable sharing.
Using two scholarly sources, create an 8-10-slide PowerPoint presentation discussing your cultural background addressing the following prompts:
Identify communication styles of your culture (verbal and nonverbal).
Describe parts of your culture you are proud of.
Explain parts of your culture that you would like to improve.
Identify stereotypes toward your culture as well as stereotypes held within your culture.
Discuss how your culture perceives mental health and wellness (i.e., receiving mental health care).
Analyze how your cultural background will influence your ability to provide mental health services to someone from your culture and someone from another culture.
The title slide and reference slide are not included in the slide count. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 100-150 words.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
