DHHS has taken several meaningful actions to better serve NH citizens by increasing the cultural and linguistic resources available in the delivery of services; joining with the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities across NH to create opportunities for all NH citizens to provide input and dialogue for improved services.
DHHS is committed to addressing diversity on individual, interpersonal and organizational levels. The Cultural Competency: A Way of Life (17 pages) focuses on specific areas that include: continued assessment of DHHS service levels and delivery methods; awareness training of cultural difference, changing attitudes, behaviors, cultural competency and sensitivity; barrier free access to programs and services, benefits and resources; and cultural competency and specific employment goals, training opportunities, career development and accountability. |
