NLBHA Reviews Programs Providing Effective Culturally Competent Services to Latino Families
Through a contract with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, NLBHA has identified several community-based programs that are effectively engaging and involving Latino families in treatment and services. While limited resources prevented us from following up on all programs that came to our attention, several excellent programs were extensively interviewed to examine elements of their programs that make them successful in meeting the needs of their communities. Ten programs were highlighted in the Casey Report, "Providing Culturally Appropriate Services in Latino Communities". More information on individual programs will be described in the future. We are continuing to focus on programs that are both culturally and linguistically competent and effective in their work in our communities and encourage you to bring these programs to our attention for follow-up.
