ResumoAbstract Abstract The cultural competency of mental-health professionals is crucial to the provision of necessary and appropriate services to an increasingly multicultural clientele. In a clinical setting, supervisors and supervisees must form a partnership to pursue cultural competency. Through working together, they can use their cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills to benefit the diverse clientele. In this article, the authors share their experiences from teaching a 2-day workshop about cultural competency for supervisors. The goal of the workshop is to enhance supervisors' knowledge and critical thinking, increase their awareness and sensitivity, and further their skill development in pursuit of this partnership with supervisees.
