Cross-Cultural Collaboration

APICAT partners with the other Washington State Cross-Cultural Contractors to address tobacco and other health disparity issues. With funds from the State Tobacco Prevention & Control Program, the partnership developed the Cross-Cultural Leadership Institute utilizing the APPEAL model of leadership development. To build community capacity, the Cross-Cultural Contractors work in partnership to plan culturally competent trainings and forums for key leaders and community members on tobacco issues.

The collaboration also led to the creation of the Coalition for Healthy Communities, an independent coalition working towards achieving health parity.
