We can relate to any culture

What I feel is that we have come way too far in globalization, and there is a lot mingling and acceptance with us. Even the corporate culture - we are working on and with the people around us. So, diverse people, you know, you can relate to any culture. So, to have something specific to the ethnicity, or your group, when it comes to counsellors -. And, most importantly, I feel like here in Canada, there is a lot of importance on mental health, and people doing counselling are doing a really great job. So, I don’t have anything else, aside from being completely aware who the person is who has come to you, and what they are talking about, what is their ethnicity. So there is my suggestion. They are really doing a good job.
