This checklist is designed for staff to indicate the extent to which they believe their residential programs demonstrate an environment that values cultural diversity and supports cultural and linguistic competence. Concrete examples of the kinds of values, practices, and resources that foster such an environment are included. The checklist can be completed by program administrators, staff, providers, and other personnel. It can be used to: (1) identify perceived program strengths and areas for growth; (2) engage staff in discussion and planning efforts to enhance cultural and linguistic competence; and (3) discuss ways to elicit the opinion of youth and their families about how their cultural preferences and needs are being addressed.
