5. Mobile Crises Training - Introduction to Culturally Responsive Crisis Care in Diverse Communities is proudly presented to you by CEQ Santa Barbara County. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
This training will provide mobile crisis team members with knowledge and practical skills on culturally responsive intervention and de-escalation skills with community members from a wide range of cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, racial and ethnic identities, gender identities, and abilities, etc. Culturally responsive crisis response is not only best practice but an ethical imperative, especially critical in consideration of the richly diverse communities of California. Topics include how the intersectionality of race, class, gender, culture, and community history can result in social inequality and complex crisis engagement; role of cultural identities in the presentation of crisis response symptoms; application of culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) standards and culturally responsive techniques in mobile crisis response; and skill development in culturally responsive and strength-based crisis intervention and de-escalation strategies.
