Cultural Proficiency: A Way of Being  allows individuals and organizations to interact effectively with people. It is a developmental approach for addressing the issues and opportunities that emerge in diverse environments. Our life journeys have been shaped by race and culture and often influence the way we interface with others.

In this recorded, 3-part workshop, Cultural Proficiency: A Way of Being, facilitated by Minh Nguyen, Telesha Mervin, and Susan Richards, individuals and organizations will explore how to effectively interact with people, regardless of their culture or identity.
This workshop provides participants with insights and tools to support increased cultural proficiency in their roles working with youth, families, and colleagues.
