The National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) provides national leadership and contributes to
the body of knowledge on cultural and linguistic competency within systems and organizations. Major
emphasis is placed on translating evidence into policy and practice for programs and personnel
concerned with health and mental healthcare delivery, administration, education, and advocacy.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including
Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge development and dissemination, (3) supporting a
community of learners, and (4) collaboration and partnerships with diverse groups.
These approaches entail the provision of training, technical assistance, and consultation and are
