Cultural Competency Trainings

From Awareness to Action:
Skills Building for Cultural Competency

This interactive 2-day training workshop integrates anti-racism work with cultural competency, setting a foundation for understanding cultural competency through a social justice lens. Participants will engage in self-examination, both personally and organizationally, to identify the next steps to move forward in the journey of cultural competence. Participants will also begin to develop an action plan for successful implementation of culturally competent policies, procedures, practices, programs and services.
