*This training will be presented in Spanish* Collaboration is highly valued in the service delivery field. It is highly important to collaborate with other professionals when providing services to family, but it is even more beneficial for families that we treat them as partners throughout this process and remain collaborative with them. Sometimes, in bilingual service delivery, families lose their voice and ability to advocate due to language barriers and bias, therefore, it is imperative that we work towards engaging in effective practices to maintain this partnership and empower the families we serve. In this workshop, participants will review effective case planning in bilingual service delivery. Participants will practice how to engage Spanish Speaking clients and families in their native language to increase the partnership with the family as the services are in a language they are most comfortable with, but also to provide services that culturally responsive.

*Participants can utilize their new skills and knowledge after the training to reinforce their learning by:
  1. Implementing tools learned in the course to develop culturally-sensitive case plans to promote effective client-clinician interactions.
  2. Incorporating considerations surrounding advocacy and inclusiveness for Spanish-Speaking clients into their work.
