Consultation and Culturally Responsive PracticesCulturally competent mental health consultants are aware and respectful of the importance of the values, beliefs, traditions, customs, and caregiving styles of the families and providers they serve. They are also aware of the impact of their own culture on the collaborative consultative relationship and take all of these factors into account when planning and delivering consultation services to staff and families of young children. Consultants can use their knowledge, skills, and attributes to support culturally responsive practices when working with young children, families, and ECE providers in both child and family centered consultation and programmatic consultation. These practices apply throughout the consultative process and the helping relationship as described in the following stages and activities of consultation.
