LOCAL RESOURCES PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

A multiculturally oriented human services professional must be aware of local cultural opportunities and supports to enhance and increase the empathetic and practical support given to clients. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to explore the area where you live to locate local resources and associated services and supports, as well as the needs of local clients, which will vary by student location.

This assignment will help students identify strengths and areas for growth. Understanding local, relevant cultural needs and resources can help to identify and become aware of potential bias and limitations. When we are prepared to help clients from various cultural backgrounds, this increases self-confidence, and confidence clients have in us as informed, multiculturally oriented professionals.

INSTRUCTIONS

Write a 3 page paper (not counting the title page and reference page) describing 3 local resources with obvious multicultural orientation.

The local resources must be agencies with physical buildings, not solely online sources. You do not need to write an abstract. Follow current APA professional style standards. You may use Scripture as well.

Begin with a brief paper introduction before going to your first section/heading. In this opening paragraph, state and describe the town/city you live in, including statistics on the cultural makeup. Include population demographics for the town or city you live in.What is important to know about the city/town you live in?

Choose 3 different agencies that meet 3 different needs, rather than all three agencies addressing the same social services need. These agencies must have obvious, specific multicultural orientation.

For example, a mental health counseling agency does not meet this requirement; however, a counselor fluent in American Sign Language would meet this requirement and be an excellent resource to be aware of. If you note that there is a large Latin American population where you live, for example, aim to find a human services resource that includes Spanish speaking services.

Make sure the paper is in APA 7th ed format make sure all questions are covered. 1. Begin with a brief paper introduction before going to your first section/heading (do not use a heading for the introduction).

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
