New Mexico Department of Health, Cultural Competency and Information Center
The Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards are guidelines established by the federal Health and Human Services Department, Office of Minority Health. These standards are mandated for all health care organizations receiving federal funds.
What is cultural competency? Cultural competency is a set of academic and personal skills that increase understanding and appreciation of cultural differences between groups.
Communication has a profound impact on every aspect of patient/client service. The New Mexico Department of Health through the Office of Policy and Multicultural Health invites you to take a FREE computer-based training that promises to be interactive, fun, enlightening and educational. The CLAS training is for health care professionals, public health providers, community-based providers and all direct medical and social service providers. Providers may earn up to 9 FREE CME or CNE credits for taking the three-hour, interactive training, offered FREE of charge! You can take the self-paced course on DVD, PDF or online.
Healthcare providers can learn why culturally competent health care is important and which CLAS Standards are mandated for health care provided to limited English proficient patients. In addition, employees and managers can learn new strategies for implementing the CLAS Standards in their clinic or service unit. Employees can take the training from their own PC at their own pace.

Web Counseling Resources
WebCounselingResources Welcome! This site contains two interest area: Therapeutic Materials for Children and Youth and Existential Therapy and Supervision. The resources and self-directed learning activities developed are intended therapists working with children and youth. One of my major interests is the treatment of "bothersome behavior" or Disruptive Behavior Disorders. Each of the areas has a separate purpose which is described to the right of its link. "Bothersome" behaviors are easier to treat when the inappropriate behavior occurs contextually. A corrective experience addresses the behavior directly while modeling and reinforcing appropriate social skills. The feedback provided clients help increase self-esteem functioning. Cultivating the role the therapist as "attachment figure," model, and encourager is vital. Finally, the gains in therapy are sustained when structure and support in the home mirror the therapy setting. I hope you find this site helpful, and will feel encouraged to use it and provide feedback.
