Principles for Prevention Partnerships, Part 2: Valuing Cultural Diversity

This 1-day workshop for community leaders, prevention advocates, and community partnership members considers ways to explore and appreciate our differences. Participants discuss their differences and come together as a community with a new appreciation of themselves and others. This experiential workshop helps participants understand and apply the concepts needed for the inclusion of the total community in prevention efforts.

The objectives are:

(1) explore the effects of cultural issues on community prevention efforts;

(2) understand appropriate and inappropriate behavior in culturally diverse situations; and

(3) define key elements of an organization that values and effectively works with cultural differences.
