Webinar Replay Available and Register for 8/12 NCAPPS Webinar

Webinar replay and slides available for July 8 NCAPPS webinar on: "Pieces of the Same Puzzle: The Role of Culture in Person-Centered Thinking, Planning, and Practice."

The movements to advance person-centered thinking and cultural competence have evolved along parallel tracks. Some people experience intersectionality due to societally imposed discrimination because of their memberships in multiple marginalized social groups. Yet person-centered thinking, planning, and practice have been slow to assemble the “pieces of the puzzle” that link the integral role of culture in the design, delivery, and evaluation of services and supports for this nation’s diverse populations. This webinar will take an in-depth look at culture, its multiple dimensions, and the essential role it plays among states, territories, and tribal nations seeking to align their values and policies with person-centered thinking, planning, and practice in health and human services. It will also feature the role of culture in services and supports that are preferred and needed from the perspective of those with lived experience.

This webinar is the first in a four-part series presented by the Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence and NCAPPS exploring cultural and linguistic competence as it relates to person-centered thinking, planning, and practice.
