Peer Learning Networks on:
--Cultural Competence Training: Selection, implementation, and integration of cultural competence training for health care organization staff.
--Communicating with Diverse Populations: How to use translated materials, health literacy techniques and other media to address patient language barriers.
Communities of Practice on:
--Community Health Workers, Patient Navigators and Cultural Mediators: Training and using patient support specialists to address cultural and linguistic issues and improve access to health services for diverse populations.
--Improving Mental Health Services for Minority, Immigrant and Refugee Populations
