• Crossing Cultural Bridges:
  Cultural Competency Bibliography/Database
  The "Crossing Cultural Bridges" - Cultural Competence Training
  project of the University Behavioral HealthCare is composed of
  mental health trainers, clinicians and researchers and affiliates
  who specialize in multicultural health Care. It is a three-year
  grant initiative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
  Services Administration (SAMHSA)and focuses on dealing with
  factors necessary to change organizational practices and on
  inculcationof knowledge and skills needed for effective clinical
  practice with African Americans and Latinos. To assist researchers, mental health professionals, organizations and agencies that are interested in cultural competence in mental health, we have created a comprehensive bibliography/database on cultural competence in psychiatry and related topics.This database, which includes articles, books and videos, covers a wide range of topics on culture and mental health care in the United States. This database will be available on our website. In addition to the database, we will also have available on our website cultural competence training materials such as videos and power point presentations for people who have participated in our
  training programs.
