Building Cultural Competence (BCC)
This training will help crime victim service providers, prosecutors, law enforcement and allied professionals to work better with diverse populations.  A four-hour participatory training, this course was designed to enhance participant's understanding of Michigan's five major cultural groups:  African American, American Indian, Arab American, Asian American, and Latino American.  The training is designed to assist participants to recognize, understand and control their personal biases, and interact more effectively with colleagues and customers across cultural boundaries.

Details
Topics covered include cultural protocols, cross-cultural communication, definition and name evolution, the impact of significant historical civil rights events, cultural characteristics and dispelling myths and stereotypes that lead to bias and discrimination.  The 4 hour presentation concentrates on embracing cultural diversity in the workplace.  The attendee announcement letter can be viewed here.
