Part 1. Revisiting Cultural Competence: New Evidence Calls for New Paradigms

HIV/AIDS trends have shifted, and AIDS is now a leading cause of death in African American women aged 25-34. This training will highlight the most recent data documenting the complex reasons for this trend and introduce five paradigm shifts in cultural competence needed if human service workers are to make an impact on health disparities. The session will include specific techniques for integrating the new meanings of cultural competence into case management and service delivery practices

This teleconference is presented by the National Abandoned Infants Assistance Resource Center.
