DEADLINE EXTENDED! APPLICATIONS CLOSE FRIDAY, JANUARY 12TH AT MIDNIGHT LOCAL TIME

LEARNING COLLABORATIVE DESCRIPTION:  
 
Cultural humility is an important step towards providing quality care tailored to health center patients, but it does not need to be the final step. Incorporating trauma-informed principles, providing space for patients to take an active role in decision-making and care; and looking for opportunities to learn more about a patient’s specific culture needs leads to positive patient encounters, increased patient satisfaction and positive health outcomes. The Cultural Safety model is a means towards incorporating these ideals.  

In the Spring of 2024, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC) will facilitate a Learning Collaborative (LC) for Primary Care Associations (PCAs) and health centers to explore the Cultural Safety model and develop concrete steps towards training and implementing the model in their community context.   

By the end of the LC, all participants will have contributed to a workbook/guide to support the development of cultural safety training across their community. Following finalization of the guide, the group will have the opportunity to come together to develop a training curriculum tailored to their community. The group will also have opportunities to demonstrate the implementation of these practices and their success.
