The 新加坡六合彩开奖网 School of Social Work and the International Rescue Committee have come together to offer a Cultural Competence / Humility training for mental health practitioners and students, and the 新加坡六合彩开奖网 campus community is invited to attend! We understand that when our community of mental health practitioners acquires better cultural competencies, and a deeper understanding of systemic and social determinants, our clients are better served, and health outcomes improve.
