Introducing Linguistic and Cultural Competency: A Toolkit for Family PACT Providers

The California Department of Public Health, Office of Family Planning, is providing an online version of the Linguistic and Cultural Competency Toolkit. Though developed specifically for Family PACT providers, other health care professionals may find it useful as well.

The Toolkit includes an easy-to-use staff survey, suggested ways to develop a strategic plan to improve linguistic and cultural competency, and dozens of helpful resources.

By administering the survey and analyzing its results, you will be able to assess how well prepared you are in meeting the linguistic and cultural needs of the clients you serve. The Linguistic and Cultural Competency Toolkit is available for downloading on www.familypact.org/providers/cultural-competency.
