“…Evidence-based self-assessment tools to support attainment of this competency include the Multicultural Counseling Inventory (Green et al, 2005); Age Is More, an online, self-scoring tool to assess ageism (Age Is More, 2013); and the Implicit Association Test, a self-administered, web-based assessment of implicit attitudes toward different cultural groups by characteristics such as sexual orientation, skin color, age, gender, and ability (Project Implicit, 2011). …”

Sexual orientation and gender identity are not commonly addressed in health and human service delivery, or in educational degree programs. Based on findings from Caring and Aging with Pride: The National Health, Aging and Sexuality Study (CAP), the first national federally-funded research project on LGBT health and aging, this article outlines 10 core competencies and aligns them with specific strategies to improve professional practice and service development to promote the well-being of LGBT older adults and their families. The articulation of key competencies is needed to provide a blueprint for action for addressing the growing needs of LGBT older adults, their families, and their communities.

Research on social work practice with gay and lesbian clients has historically focused on examining social workers' attitudes towards gay and lesbian individuals, however, no studies have examined the relationship between attitudes and practice using validated measures to assess practice. The focus of this study was therefore to examine the relationship between attitudes and practice with gays and lesbians using the recently developed and validated Gay Affirmative Practice Scale (GAP). Significant relationships were found with the GAP and two measures of homophobia as well as with measures that assessed feelings about lesbians and gay men, contact with gays and lesbians, attendance at workshops that focused on gay and lesbian issues, relationship status, sexual orientation, political party, and primary area of practice. Relationships with measures of attitudes were also examined. Implications for social work practice, education, and research are discussed.

“…considerations aWareness of the deaf culture Arguably, the most important consideration is to understand the deaf culture.

“…As with any cultural group, becoming multiculturally or cross-culturally competent is critical (Green et al, 2005; P. R. Heppner, 2006;Sodowsky, Taffe, Gutkin, & Wise, 1994). Several authors reported that in order to be effective in working with a client who is deaf, it is necessary both to understand and appreciate the deaf culture (Andrews et al, 2004;Glickman, 1996;Scheetz, 2004;Williams & Abeles, 2004).…”

during their professional career, counselors may encounter a client who is deaf; however, they may feel unprepared to work effectively with this population. counselors who have an understanding of individuals who are deaf through their history, language, and other important considerations might be better prepared to work with this unique and underserved population. a lo largo de su carrera profesional, los consejeros pueden encontrarse con un cliente que sea sordo; sin embargo, puede que no se sientan preparados para trabajar efectivamente con esta población. aquellos consejeros que tienen un conocimiento de los individuos que son sordos a través de su historia, lenguaje y otras consideraciones importantes podrían estar mejor preparados para trabajar con esta población singular y desatendida.
