Confidence in Culture: Building Self-Efficacy + Intent to Change
Whether in community-level interventions or health communications, the specific needs of your target community / audience are identified via cultural norms and practices under the belief that by utilizing the strengths of the community and cultural pride, there will be an increase in feelings of self-efficacy and, by extension, the intent to change. Confidence in Culture (CIC) is a conceptual model created to assist and promote the adoption of healthy behaviors through culturally appropriate (and specific) communications, education and outreach. Originally, crafted to foster the adoption of culturally appropriate and healthy dietary changes, the CIC model can be adapted to any health problem, progressive issue, or community.

Power With vs Power Over
Is power the ability to act or produce an effect? Or is it the possession of control, authority, or influence over others? What kinds of power exist within the workplace? What does it mean to wield that power? In this training, we answer these questions and more, discovering the various types of social power, learning when “power over” is healthy and when it is detrimental to relationships. We also walk through realistic scenarios to examine methods of practicing “power with”.
