"Culture Matters: an Enculturation Scale for Filipino Americans”
Cultural values and practices are important to assess when treating the health and well-being of Filipino/a/xs. Dr. Alicia del Prado published the first Enculturation Scale for Filipino Americans (ESFA) in 2010 to help meet the psychological needs of the Filipino community. The ESFA is a valid and reliable measure with three scales: Connection with Homeland, Interpersonal Norms, and Conservatism. Join Alicia to learn more about the ESFA, understand how it correlates with mood and other health variables, and consider applications of the ESFA in your professional fields.

WHAT IS VIRTUAL WATER COOLER?
FWN convenes a weekly Virtual Water Cooler. Showing up for each other. A gathering to share, ask and give.
SHARE: Do you have a story, an article, a job promotion, an award you received, news about your company, an idea you want to share?
ASK: Do you need advice, a resource, a contact, someone to review your resume or a speech you're writing, guidance on a marketing pitch or grant proposal? I know it's not in our culture to ask for help as many of us feel ashamed. Know that you are in a safe, private and confidential environment.
GIVE: Do you have something to give? A free consultation, a book, an item you no longer need, a ticket to attend a Zoom event or conference, a discount coupon, a free meal? Receiving is at the heart of our connection with one another. It is about paying forward.
This weekly gathering is to demonstrate the abiding power of FWN's personal connections and bringing people together in solidarity and comfort.
