CLAS Learning Collaborative RFA
![Image](https://preventionactionalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/rounded-top-shorter.png)
Prevention Action Alliance (PAA), in collaboration with Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services, will provide coalitions with expertise and high-quality materials through the delivery of a two-day summit and learning collaborative. This approach will allow us to provide extensive, in-depth training beyond basic concepts of cultural competence. In addition to the two-day summit, three coaching webinars will be added so that each coalition can get the proper support to implement a CLAS Standards change project effectively.
Our training design will bring in a three-member training team specifically skilled in cross-cultural communication, cultural and worldview elements, community engagement, and process improvement to approach the complexities of holistically integrating cultural and linguistic strategies into organizational culture, policies, and operations.
