The Franco-Americans of Northern Vermont : Cultural Factors for Consideration by Health and Social Services Providers

The Franco-Americans of Northern Vermont : Cultural Factors for Consideration by Health and Social Services Providers

Paper on Franco American values and cultural patterns as visible in the people of Vermont. The importance of recognizing such patterns and morals for health and social service providers. Included in Occasional Paper Number Six, in a series produced by the Center for Research on Vermont, University of Vermont. Originally presented as, "The French-Canadians of Vermont: Cultural Implications for Health and Social Services Providers," at a meeting sponsored by the University of Vermont Department of Psychology, November, 1981.

From Woolfson: "Though a number of Franco-Vermonters do not display visible trappings of their French-Canadian heritage, many still share, as do other ethnic groups, inherited cultural patterns and values. This paper examines some of these patterns and values with an eye to describing their importance for health and social services providers in particular. There has been considerable interest in the special social and cultural patterns of the French-Vermonters as an ethnic group, especially the roles that family members play in interviews and other health and social services contexts."
