The document discusses addressing cultural influences on individuals with mental illness. It suggests utilizing the Cultural Formulation Interview in the DSM-5 to apply a culturally competent approach. As a social worker, one would use this interview to understand a client's cultural concepts of distress, explanations of illness, help-seeking preferences, and social stressors. Acculturation can affect individuals psychologically and socioculturally. A strategy to help with acculturation is implementing counseling that acknowledges and supports a client's cultural values and transition to a new culture.

paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
