Are you interested in
learning more about cultural competency and utilizing cultural competency
resources?
The Southeastern Health Equity Council
(SHEC) released its Cultural Competency Resource Guide in fall 2015. This
guide is comprised of resources, trainers, institutions, and publications
about cultural and linguistic competency that can be shared with the 10
Regional Health Equity Councils (RHECs), stakeholders, and partners to help
address cultural barriers with healthcare systems. Additionally, this guide
includes important terms for members of the SHEC to become familiar with as
the Council develops a common language around cultural competency. To view
the resource guide, visit http://region4.npa-rhec.org/in-the-spotlight/resourceguidewhitepaper.
To follow up
with the release of the Cultural Competency Resource Guide, the SHEC will
host four webinars in various regions of the country. The webinars will
include speakers from organizations that focus on cultural competency.
Upon completion of this webinar, the participant will be able to accomplish
the following from the specific organizational perspective:
- Identify human trafficking victimization and criminal
behavior;
- Describe the intersectionality of social determinants
and human trafficking;
- Explain the importance of trauma-informed care
through a cultural competency lens;
- Discuss best practices for multidisciplinary and
collaborative partnerships; and
- Identify cultural competency assessment and
evaluation tools.
The focus
of the webinar will be responding to human trafficking victimization of
marginalized, masked, and missed minority populations through a cultural
competency lens.
