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.
Don’t
miss national and state speakers present on cultural competence in children’s
mental health, working with LGBTQ youth, communication and language services,
and best practices in your communities.
All should be
champions of promoting, infusing and implementing CLC within their system and
broader community. This training day will allow children’s mental health staff
and leadership explore the aspects of cultural and linguistic competence and
how to apply culturally and linguistically appropriate practices to everyday
service delivery and operations.
