Abstract	This learning module, which is part of a three-block series intended to help human service workers develop the skills necessary to solve the problems encountered in their daily contact with elderly clients of different cultural backgrounds, deals with communication and adjustment from the standpoint of Ukrainian culture. The first two sections present background information on the Ukraine, migration from the Soviet Union to Canada, and the general objectives of this module. Discussed in the next two sections are verbal communication practices (language barriers, self-expression, and possible constraints) and nonverbal communication patterns. A section on adjustment to life events examines the following topics: family, religious conviction, personal possessions, disability of other family members, sexual disability, marriage and remarriage, addition of a new family member, family get-togethers, friends, change in eating patterns, recreational activities, and personal finances. Psychological reactions to selected life events are described in the next section. The final section deals with ways in which human services workers can facilitate life adjustment among Ukrainian Canadians. Lists of selected readings and related films are appended. (MN)
