People of Color Learning Community Session Four

The South Southwest Prevention Technology Transfer Center will host session four of its virtual five-part learning community series for prevention professionals working in communities of color.  This webinar will focus on using the cultural competence continuum to help gauge an organization's capacity to provide culturally inclusive services and to create open dialogue with communities of color. The model describes cultural competency as movement along a continuum that is based on the premise of respect and appreciation of individuals and cultural differences.    

At the completion of this session participants will be able to:  

  • Use the cultural competence continuum to identify their organization’s current capacity to provide services in communities of color.  

  • Identify the steps to creating an open dialogue with communities of color to better incorporate each community’s  values, beliefs, culture, and language throughout service delivery.  

The purpose of the learning community is to share strategies for creating change that leads to positive outcomes in communities of color.
