2021 Odyssey cultural and linguistic competence webinar registration now open

Topic: cultural and linguistic competence

Cultural competence and linguistic competence are widely recognized as a fundamental aspect of quality in human services for diverse populations. Developing cultural and linguistic competence are essential approaches for reducing disparities and for promoting equity. These approaches improve access, acceptability and utilization of supports and services, and are foundational for anti-racism work. However, many human services organizations struggle to integrate these approaches into their policies and practices. This presentation focuses on implementing cultural and linguistic competence in disability and aging services and its role in promoting racial equity.

Our guest presenters are Tawara D. Goode, director, and Vivian H. Jackson, senior policy associate, both from the National Center for Cultural Competence at Georgetown University.
