Language Access and Cultural Relevance. Please describe how the proposed program will serve non-English speaking youth and/or their families. Describe how the proposed program will be culturally relevant to the population served. The students we intend to serve will likely be English-speaking. However, our program facilitators, who are Black and Afro-Latinx, can relate to students because they share the same cultural upbringing and have likely faced similar challenges (facilitators are Madison born or have lived here over the last 20 years). Our facilitators know from personal experience that Xxxxx, Xxxxx, and indigenous youth are the most disenfranchised demographic in Dane County. They have experienced the same barriers these youth experience when engaging with other youth service agencies (financial barriers, cultural differences, and the lack of belonging). The program will also use UT’s existing programming developed using evidence-based research and refined with program participant feedback since 2017. Our programs remain relevant and culturally situated in the populations we serve - primarily minoritized residents of Dane County.

Language Access and Cultural Relevance. Please describe how the proposed program will serve non-English speaking youth and/or their families. Describe how the proposed program will be culturally relevant to the population served. All of our work is rooted in equity because our staff and board of directors have lived experiences as professionals of color. The challenge with people of color is being transparent with who we are because we have learned how to mask our identity to be acceptable societally. For this reason, our work will not only be rooted in equity, but will be rooted in authenticity. Our focus will be on empowering our youth and ourselves to be authentically us, without judgment or repercussions. Program materials can be made available in various languages as necessary. Currently, Dear Diary Inc. has staff fluent in Spanish, French, and Creole, both spoken and written. We are committed to serving the program’s target audience and make arrangements to address language barriers in all sessions and through written communications. Many of the schools that we partner with also have staff who are fluent in other languages. There are available resources for us to utilize these services to assist with translation of written material and translation for sessions. If we are unable to find assistance through our current partners, we are willing to hire outside services.

Language Access and Cultural Relevance. Please describe how the proposed program will serve non-English speaking older adults. Describe how the proposed program will be culturally relevant to the population served. Urban Triage Inc. is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and ensuring equitable access to our services for all individuals, regardless of language barriers. As part of our commitment to transforming culture, institutions, and communities for a humane future, we recognize the importance of providing language access to over 100 different languages, but with a primary focus on Spanish and Hmong speakers, to members of the communities we serve. We've developed a language access plan that includes translation services, staff training, and the identification of language needs. FYI, 100% of participants in our workgroups speak English. Our workgroup is culturally relevant based on the framework we use. Utilizing the framework of Xx. Xxxxx XxXxxxx’s PTSS. Our model looks at the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that African Americans have faced and are facing as a result of the ongoing and persistent trauma. Our model focuses on adaptive behaviors that were developed as a result of the trauma—both positive and negative—that have allowed Black people to survive & often even thrive. In Dr. DeGruey’s strength-based model, the first step is to reevaluate those adaptive behaviors passed down through generations and, where appropriate, replace maladaptive behaviors with ones that promote and sustain healing. This is achieved through transformative education and personal development. Looking at history, system analysis, and building community and social cohesion.
