Cultural Awareness

Cultural awareness is about recognizing and understanding that we all have different values shaped by our diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultural awareness involves raising a person’s understanding of the influence our culture has on how we do things, including how we communicate, what foods we eat, or even how we go about our work.

Being culturally aware means understanding why cultural diversity is important and recognizing that not every person will do things in the same manner as we do. Being mindful of this diversity allows us to be more respectful of the way others operate based on their cultural backgrounds. While you may not be intimately familiar with other cultures, if you at least understand your own culture and how it affects you. This will allow an individual to take the first step in developing a sense of cultural awareness when it comes to interacting with people who may have a different background than yourself.

Cultural awareness helps you understand yourself better, your weaknesses, your psychology, and how to become a better person. It also helps with cognitive flexibility, problem-solving, decision–making, and improved communication skills.

Service For a Cause Foundation Inc., (SFAC) supports diversity and equal opportunities for all women & man in the community. We participate in cultural activities (LULAC, JUNETEETH), special holiday celebrations, military/veterans’ engagements, programs, and local organizations whose mission is to educate & improve our community.

Health

Our health is rooted in every aspect of our daily lives: our homes, neighborhoods, communities, workplaces, and schools. It is in the quality of the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the safety of our home, and the relationships we have. Health comprises the diagnosis of a disease/illness, predisposition to a disease, and any unexpected injury. These elements, have a tremendous impact on us and we see this impact through the Mind, Body, Spirit, and Community connection.
