CULTURAL COMPETENCY AND HEALTH LITERACY TRAINING PROGRAM

The Communities we serve are growing in cultural and linguistic diversity. There is a need to inspire cultural change within organizations. The Cultural Competency and Health Literacy Master Training (TTT) Program will be an interactive program in which participants will have hands on learning experience to build better communities.

Attendees will learn to:

• The role social determinants of health have on population health outcomes
• The relationship between place and health on Long Island
• Unconscious bias
• How the National CLAS standards can help reduce health disparities
• How to apply cultural humility in community-serving organizations
• The components of health literacy
•  The “teach back” method
• Utilization of  health literacy strategies
• Lead Master training, organizational and staff trainings

 The class will run approximately 7.5 hours (lunch will be provided).

Curriculum developed by Martine Hackett, PhD, MPH, National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University.

Post-training, Master Trainers will receive a certificate of completion and the ability to host training sessions throughout the region. Master Trainers will be able to facilitate two different trainings: (1) 2 hour CC/HL training sessions for workforce professionals and (2) 7.5 hour master training sessions for future master-trainers.

Participants must register online by February 23, 2016. Due to the interactive nature of this program, registration is limited to 30 participants. A maximum of 2 participants per organization will be selected to attend. Preference will be given to those applicants with previous facilitation experience and those who work regularly with under-served populations within their professional roles. This application process will allow us to identify a diverse network of TTT Master Trainers.

Who Should Attend?

Healthcare professionals, Non-Health professionals: practice managers, PPS Leaders, Community Based Leaders, and CCHL Leads.
