• List and explain three of the rationales for multicultural perspective.
• Explain what ethical issues can arise when working with multicultural clients.
• List and describe three ethical codes that pertain to working with diverse populations.
• Describe how you have become more aware and sensitive to your own cultural heritage and more aware to valuing and respecting differences in other cultures.
• Explain how obtaining additional knowledge could make one an ethically competent paraprofessional in working with a diverse population.
• Explain how a high level of multicultural competence might help in developing an attitude of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a behavioral health paraprofessional.
• Speaker notes (70-100 words per slide) with proper APA citations.  
• Cite three to five sources to support your claims.
