The Cultural Competence Training Center of Central NJ (CCTC) offers training for leadership and staff of state supported mental health agencies in central New Jersey. The Center offers general trainings and intensive training for leadership and agency staff to help them reduce racial and ethnic disparities in their mental health services. In 2006-2007 CCTC worked intensely with leaders and clinical staff of seven major agencies in the central region and is continuing to work with leadership of those agencies in 2007-2008. In 2006-2007 we provided training for more than 380 clinicians from 26 mental health agencies in the central region of New Jersey. In 2008 three additional agencies opted to participate in our intensive curriculum. Since its inception the Center has offered a series of “open” trainings to 400 staff and leaders of state supported mental health agencies.
