What We Offer
The Cultural Competence Training Center of Central NJ (CCTC) offers training and consultation to mental health professionals and agencies that receive public mental health funding in the State of New Jersey in the interest of helping them reduce racial and ethnic disparities in mental health services.
CCTC of Central New Jersey accomplishes our mission by offering three training series, ranging from six to twelve months) for teams of clinicians, clinical supervisors, and agency leaders working in agencies that are prepared to work towards maximizing their agencies’ responsiveness to the cultural groups they serve:  1) Intensive Clinical Training Series, 2) Clinical Supervision Series, and 3) Leadership Training/consultation Series.    Additionally, we offer mental health professionals the opportunity to participate, at an individual level, in our ‘open’ workshops and conferences.

Our Training Model
The CCTC’s training model, curriculum content, and training strategies are guided by our training experience over three decades, and from dialogue with our network of nationally known trainers. Central to our philosophy is our awareness that training on the subject of culture (race, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation) evokes deep feelings. We believe that cultural competence begins with understanding ourselves in cultural context- our own history and the history of the societal structures of the society in which we live.
