About this Webinar

In NH we value that everyone lives freely, but that means ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to thrive. We know that organizations strive to ensure this opportunity by providing high quality services that are accessible to all in NH – yet achieving this can be challenging. Many of us have simply not had access to training about an effective approach that would turn our goals into broader success. The good news is that a roadmap exists; there is a framework to provide high quality services for all called the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework, and this framework is the roadmap.

What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework and its 7 elements
• Discuss why the Framework is helpful in promoting a more equitable workplace
• Reflect on how to apply this framework to their own organization
