Background...

Midwest Center for Cultural Competence LLC began its first efforts toward providing education, training and consultation on issues of cultural diversity and cultural competence in January 2003. Harold, Don, Jodee, and Kevin have worked together for over ten years. We provide education, training and consultation to various organizations, including corporations, health care agencies, not-for-profits, and other groups throughout the United States who are interested in becoming more culturally competent.

In our efforts to become more culturally competent individuals, we are continuously learning valuable lessons about organizations, systems, and ourselves. We look forward to sharing this knowledge and insight with other individuals and agencies to promote what we think are important values and beliefs, as well as to further our own growth and development. 

Cultural competence is fundamental to providing quality services that promote individual and family strengths, dignity, and self-reliance.  It broadens and enriches the delivery of all services by providing a holistic, relevant view of the world and the helping process (MHCDC, 1994).  Midwest Center for Cultural Competence LLC offers consultation, training and education to the community at large with the goal of helping to create a culturally competent multicultural community.  Midwest Center for Cultural Competence LLC is dedicated to improving the lives of people in all walks of life and across all dimensions of diversity by continuing to work at transitioning from destructive responses to cultural differences – through steadfast examination of our beliefs, values and behavior and making appropriate and timely adjustments – to responses to cultural difference that are proficient.
