The Intersection of Race and Culture: Avoiding Cultural Collisions provides community partners, service providers, and state and local agencies with an overview of the importance of cultural competency and how demonstrating this supports effective decision making and promotes engagement when serving families from a wide variety of backgrounds.

1. Describe what is meant by culture and how it impacts behavior.

2. Understand the connection of culture to both the behavior of individuals, youth and families, as well as the response of "system" personnel.

3. Understand how to recognize when one is at an intersection of culture and race.

4. Apply skills to aid in minimizing the possibilities of cultural collisions occurring at cultural intersections.

Continuing education credit approval is pending for physicians, nurses, and, pharmacists.
