What people have said:
“I found the training extremely valuable and informative. It shone a light on how many different factors can influence a person’s sense of culture and personal beliefs, and provided a framework to better understand our own cultural responsiveness.” – Participant
“CMY training really opened my mind to look at and understand individuals within their cultural context, and also to self-reflect on my own cultural biases.
