Canada is a country made up of diverse ethnic groups and diverse cultural values. Before any intervention can be made, health care professionals must understand the family’s cultural, psychological, social, communal, environmental, and other contexts because these contexts affect the way issues are perceived and decisions made. Therefore, it is crucial to first interview the family to assess their understanding of the situation before deciding on the next step.
