Got Culture? Engagement Strategies for Marginalized & Disparate Populations-One Day Event – a Culture interest event taking place on 2017-07-11 08:45:00 in United States
Cultural and Linguistic Competence (CLC) is a core value of System of Care (SOC) communities. It is defined as: “a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or amongst professionals and enables that system, agency, or those professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations.” Cultural and Linguistic Competence is the responsibility of every SOC team member, the governance structure and community partners. All should be champions of promoting, infusing and implementing CLC within their system and broader community. This technical assistance meeting will allow children’s mental health staff and leadership to explore the aspects of Cultural and Linguistic Competence and how to apply culturally and linguistically appropriate practices to everyday service delivery and operations.
