Dear Provider,
In partnership with ADHS/DBHS, Magellan Learning and Performance is excited to announce the launch of the new Cultural Competency 101: Embracing Diversity training. Magellan will be offering this instructor-led training to all providers on an ongoing basis and classes are currently available for enrollment in Achieve at https://magellan.learn.com/az.
Magellan will be hosting a Training of the Trainer (TOT) session in an effort to expand our network of trainers and ensure the provision of quality training sessions for this curriculum. The Department of Behavioral Health Services has outlined very specific qualifications to ensure the fidelity of the content for all Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs). If you are interested in completing the TOT session for this curriculum, please read the general information below to see a breakdown of the participant levels.
