The second part of this training, Cross-Cultural Communications Principles: The Global Dynamics of Interaction, will introduce Change Leaders to the forces at work in cultural communications and emphasize via case studies and group exercises the value behind knowing how to communicate cross-culturally with clients and staff. Once we have the Cultural Foundations, shared systems such as symbols, beliefs, attitudes, values, expectations, and norms of behavior become tools rather than barriers. Knowing how to navigate these systems is crucial to success in the diverse world we live in today. These guidelines and principles will help Change Leaders navigate the world in their clinical practice at home or in any multicultural environment around the globe. 

This event is provided as a collaborative effort between the Great Lakes ATTC, MHTTC, and PTTC, the National Hispanic and Latino ATTC, MHTTC, and PTTC, The Prevention Action Alliance, the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission, and the Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services.
