PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN SYSTEMIC PRACTICE
This 12-session practice-based training programme hopes to offer a platform for practitioners to begin the deliberation for them to outline the pattern that nurtures the competencies of a culturally appropriate systemic practitioner capable of offering culturally and religiously appropriate inclusive response. Trainers will pay acute attention to their experiences of working with minority communities in Singapore. The course will encourage participants to interact and intra-act with their own cultures, and that of others.
At the end of the workshop, the participants will learn:
- Describe systemic ideas and concepts;
- Develop a systemic relationship with culture;
- Identify cultural and intergenerational biases in practice;
- Encourage a critical approach in applying culture of humility and empathy in working with families;
- Cultivate and co-construct culturally appropriate responses in their practice contexts.
