, Cultural Competence

Claudia is a six-year-old Hispanic female born six months after her parents moved to the

United States. Her mom reported that she has struggled with anxiety since witnessing a mugging

in her neighborhood (Plummer, et.al, 2014b). Claudia lives in an impoverished area with her

mom and dad (Plummer, et.al, 2014b). She has been so traumatized that she asks her parents to

continue to check to see if the door is locked repeatedly (Plummer et al., 2014b). She is currently

receiving therapy services from a social worker. The social worker is currently working with her

on skills to cope with her anxiety and increase her ability to maintain focus in school.

Describe two social issues related to the course-specific case study for Claudia that inform a

culturally competent social worker.

A few social issues are occurring in the case of Claudia. The social problems that

Claudia’s family currently faces are obtaining legal residency and living in poverty. They now

live in an area where the crime rate is high, and Claudia is always worried that something terrible

may happen. Because of the neighborhood that she lives in, the social worker must work with

Claudia to eliminate her fear and anxiety of living in an unsafe area. Children living in poverty

have higher rates of anxiety and other mental health issues than those who do not (Hodgkinson et

al., 2017). Statistics also show that families living in impoverished areas are more likely to be

victims of violence (Hodgkinson et al., 2017). Another issue that her family is currently facing is

gaining legal residency after moving to the United States from Nicaragua. It can be difficult for

her family to access specific resources without being legal residents; cultural competence is

essential when working with a family who is not aware of the resources they have access to. The

social worker can work with the family to understand their background and find resources that

she feels will benefit the family.
