The words we use when speaking with one another are important. Not only can they validate and empower someone, but they can also build - or tear down - the relationships we have.
Learning how to use culturally sensitive language in your Activity Professional role can benefit your residents, their families, and your team.
In this article we cover:
- What Is Culturally Sensitive Language?
- What Types of Cultures Might I See When Working as an Activity Professional?
- What If I Don’t Know Anything About a Resident’s Culture?
- What Happens If I Make a Mistake?
- 7 Ways to Honor Other Cultures

Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others.
I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
