Welcoming Famillies from Around the World

The new family coming to my social service agency is from Nepal. The family consists of a mother, father, their three children and the mother’s mother. In order to prepare myself and my organization for their welcoming, there are several cultural responsive attitudes that I will incorporate to make their emigration a smooth transitions.

 

(1). Foster more understanding of the family and how they operate, feel, and the ways in which they live their life.

 

(2). Build collaborative relationships with other agencies and institutions that serve emigrant families and their communities.

 

(3). Effectively communicate culturally sensitive choices and their consequences and be aware of many possibilities and respond appropriately.

 

(4). Establish personalized contact with individuals and their families by developing and utilizing vocabulary of greetings and key phrases in the families’ primary language and cultivating caring, engaging relationships with the family. I will also make the environment friendly to their native country through resources, décor, and materials.

 

(5). Educate my staff as well as the other families and individuals that will communicate, interact, and engage with my new family from Nepal.

I hope that these preparations will benefit the families is ways that foster and nurture cultural responsiveness, provides a comfortable transition, and serves as a resource in become self-sufficient.
