This analysis offers a starting point for readers to reflect on their own experiences and assumptions of multicultural practice with diverse ethno-racial communities. Major themes include differential processes in seeking help and the importance of taking into account a community's history or an individual's age, gender, acculturation, or socio-economic status when developing strategies for social work in multicultural settings.

John Graham is an Associate Professor and is the PhD program coordinator for the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary. His research interests include cultural and international social work practice, social work and diversity, qualitative (ethnographic and historical) research methodologies, social policy/social planning and social welfare history.

Alean Al-Krenawi teaches in the Spitzer Department of Social Work at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His work has appeared in the Journal of Women and Social Work, Health and Social Work and the Journal of Social Psychology.
