Course Description:

This course provides Peer Support Specialists with an opportunity to explore the principles of cultural and structural humility. In building upon concepts of culture, cultural identity, social institutions, and more, learners will be encouraged to move forward with concepts of competency to develop an approach of humility. In doing so, learners will be able to distinguish between competency and humility as they develop an understanding of the history of cultural humility, what characterizes cultural and structural humility, and how this relates to the work of the peer support specialist.

Objectives: 

1. Upon completion of the course, learners will define culture and elements of culture, as evidenced by the post-test. 

2. Upon completion of the course, learners will identify the importance of cultural and structural humility in their work as a peer support specialist, as evidenced by the post-test. 

3. Upon completion of the course, learners will identify skills associated with cultural and structural humility as they apply to the peer support specialist, as evidenced by the post-test.
