Culture Informed Care© (CIC)

“Perhaps the perfect place to start is with what the program does NOT offer! The material provided here is not meant to judge a viewpoint nor persuade the user to change a value or belief system.

What the program DOES is shine a spotlight on diversity, stretch the user’s understanding of tailored care, and invite the user to consistently consider how different practices and beliefs influence care. The program discusses the significance of a person’s religion, race, neuro-diversity, ability level, socio-economic status, sexual expression, and more, in relation to treatment and care.

The goal of the program is to provide specialized knowledge and insights to inform, help you adapt and improve.”

“You are a director, practice owner, clinician or educator who holds their workplace culture to a high standard and who strives to keep informed about ethical practices. You understand the value in providing ongoing training for staff—because well-trained staff are confident staff and confident staff positively impact clients’ quality of life. Healthy practice, healthy clients. Healthy clients, healthy practice.”

“The conscientious therapist, educator or caregiver is cognizant that there is no one way of providing support, and that ethical care requires being adaptable.

In today’s world of fast-paced change and global communities, dedicated individuals in the helping field need to stay current on essential care elements.

CIC is designed to expand on what diligent caregivers already know while opening them up to still more current and crucial ethical considerations. Its interactive format allows for; introspection on how one’s own value system influences caregiving; consideration of how to broaden treatment and education goals to include more diversity; and space to celebrate serving others with dignity. The content is indispensable for those in the helping field.”

“No boring lecture-series, here! CIC is patterned after a research-backed training method~ Behavior Skills Training. Ten different categories are broken down into recurring sections: information, examples, time to introspect and a summary.

The format includes judgement-free pre- and post assessments, thought-provoking video content, real-life case studies, and space to explore your own personal examples.

Users can progress at their own pace through the content, accessing embedded videos at the click of a button and jotting down thoughts into the program itself (no paper needed!). With “how-to” instructions included in an introduction video as well as within every category and dedicated customer support, the program is enjoyable and easy to use.”
