This self-assessment has provided me with insight into my personal cultural awareness and competence. The results indicate that I am well-versed in the values of cultural humility and respectful communication, but need to focus on further understanding how power dynamics influence interactions with people from other backgrounds. Additionally, I was able to identify areas such as language proficiency and knowledge of specific cultures where I could use improvement.

These results will help guide me in developing a more comprehensive approach to working with diverse populations. Specifically, it will be important for me to ensure that I remain aware of any potential power disparities between myself and clients while also having an open mind when encountering new perspectives or ideas. As recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA), continuing education courses related to diversity can also provide invaluable resources during this process (APA, n.d.). With these steps taken, I can continue working towards providing more culturally competent care for those who seek my services.
