The training will be guided by the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) standards and will provide a blueprint for Georgia’s System of Care — health providers, health care organizations, and youth-serving agencies —to implement culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
There are three parts to the training, which will provide actionable steps to help organizations provide culturally responsive behavioral health services.
- Part 1 virtual session: Introduction to national CLAS standards
- Part 2 in-person session: Actionable steps to provide culturally responsive care
- Part 3 train-the-trainer (optional): Are you interested in training others to deliver culturally responsive care? Sign up for part 3. Please note participants are REQUIRED to register and attend the two previous sessions to be eligible for part 3.
