The discussion noted that recently developed approaches largely reflected a white, middle-class perspective of the role of the individual, family, community, and larger society in the context of health, mental health, social services, and legal systems. This cultural bias sometimes makes these approaches inappropriate when minority children are sexually abused. In addition, professionals from minority groups are underrepresented in their field, hampering cross-cultural dialogue and learning required for growth and improvement and hindering the recruitment of minority professionals. The participants discussed modifications of current programs to incorporate the cultural values and strengths of minority cultures, ways to support the development of competency-based cultural practice, and the recruitment and support of minority professionals. Speakers included mental health professionals, program manager, representatives of advocacy organizations, and academicians.
