Management

Cultural competence begins with self-

knowledge; counselors and case managers

should be aware of and responsive to how

their culture shapes attitudes and beliefs.

This understanding will broaden as they

gain knowledge and direct experience with

the cultural groups of their client popula-

tion, enabling them to better frame client

issues and interact with clients in culturally

specific and appropriate ways. TIP 27,

Comprehensive Case Management for

Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT 1998a),

offers more information on effec- tive case

management.
