SOC Toolbox: Cultural Competence

In this section you will find guidance to support developing a culturally competent system. Each section contains summarized guidance and tools to assist you. If you are in the very beginning stages of assessing for cultural competency within your system, it is recommended that you review the sections from the beginning. If you are further along, then it is recommended that you review each question and review materials under the one that best supports the current stage of development.

Under most questions you will also find useful "TOOLS" to assist you in that particular area of cultural competency development. Each of these tools will have a link with the title as well as a brief summary of its use. The TOOLS section may also include other helpful links, websites or articles. <more>
