The Organizational Journey toward Cultural and Linguistic Competency

A special issue of Impact, the newsletter of National Child Traumatic Stress Network, focuses on cultural and linquistic competency and its role in providing effective services to child victims of trauma and their families. This is the first part of a four-part series that will address various aspects of cultural and linquistic competency.  Many of the strategies they describe for assessing your community can be helpful when looking at the development or revision of your agency's cultural competency plan.
