We know that organizations strive to ensure this opportunity by providing high quality services that are accessible to all in NH – yet achieving this can be challenging. Many of us have simply not had access to training about an effective approach that would turn our goals into broader success. \nThe good news is that a roadmap exists; there is a framework to provide high quality services for all called the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework\, and this framework is the roadmap. The NH Equity Collective Culturally Effective Organizations Work Group in partnership with the Southern NH AHEC Center for Cultural Effectiveness will be hosting a forum to teach organizations about the essential pathways for success. You will have the opportunity to hear from local leaders who are enjoying the benefits of being a culturally effective organization. \nYou are invited to attend this training webinar to learn about the roadmap for providing high quality services for all. This Learning Forum is especially suited to interested individuals who are interested in advancing equity within their organization. We recommend that organizations be represented by teams of 2-3 individuals who can take the information back to their organizational leadership. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this learning forum participants will be able to: \n• Describe the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework and its 7 elements \n• Identify at least one strategy that helps to achieve an element \n• Identify at least one resource \n• Reflect on how to apply this framework to their own organization \n• Assess their own sphere of influence in effecting change in their organization \nLearning Outcome \n• 80% of participants will identify at least one element of the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework that they will focus on implementing / improving in their organization \n  \nContinuing Education \nCertificates of participation will be available for all professionals. \nSocial Workers \n2.75 CEUs pending approval from NASW NH. \nNurses \nSouthern New Hampshire Area Health Education Center is an approved provider with distinction of nursing continuing professional development by the Northeast Multistate Division Education Unit\, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. \n2.75 contact hours.
