Assignment

In this assignment, you will prepare a brochure

appropriate for distribution to mental health centers,

senior facilities, doctors’ offices and/or other direct

care facilities. The brochure will emphasize the

importance of appropriately communicating with

persons of other cultures in a health care setting.

Within the brochure, briefly mention the federal rules

that apply to this and provide guidelines for

communicating with two ethnic groups of your choice.

Be sure to include information on the importance of

verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as the

meanings, such as stigma attached to physical or mental

illness, that may apply to that culture.

You may use illustrations, graphics, and special

formatting such as bullet points, to enhance your

product. Your brochure should end with a list of at least

five resources, including both the material you referred

to when writing the brochure and any other resources

that might be of use to the persons reading the

brochure.
