The Regional Center hosts a brown bag lunch this Friday, December 17th as part of our center's training calendar.
Let's take a break from the terms cultural competency, cultural awareness and cultural humility and have an honest conversation about what happens each day in our work and what we can do to make every person feel human, cared for, welcomed and respected. We will use lay language to think together about ways to make our agencies, programs and offices safe, welcoming and healthy. Join us for this brown bag conversation where we'll explore challenges and identify opportunities together.
You will leave this training with tips and tricks to make your own meetings and programs more inclusive, as well as strategies you can incorporate in your own work or your own organization to move your own cultural humility efforts forward.
Please bring your own lunch, the Regional Center will provide tea and snacks.
