Problem: You have reviewed, explored, and discussed the concept of culture and the importance of cultural sensitivity during interactions in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care, as well as the characteristics of a multicultural professional. In your initial post, please respond to the following prompts:
Imagine, you are a counselor working in the student service center of a college. A student comes in for assistance because they are having difficulty with their coursework.
