The Mid America ATTC presents an educational opportunity to build cultural awareness through CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) through training and technical assistance.
This training is ideal for any organization or individual working within a system that aims to find solutions and implement equitable standard operating procedures to address disparities affecting marginalized communities.
The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care (CLAS Standards) are intended to advance health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities. Developed by the HHS Office of Minority Health, the National CLAS Standards is a 15-step framework organizations can use to address health inequities and racial/ethnic disparities within their organizations and communities.
The goal is to initiate conversations and achieve compassionate outcomes within organizations and community providers, ensuring services are inclusive, equitable, respectful, and accessible to marginalized populations.
For more information about how to tailor a CLAS training for your organization, please contact De'Andrea Chatmon or Kreasha Williams.
