Join us for an introduction to the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), a globally recognized cultural competency assessment. The IDI evaluates an individual’s current level of cultural awareness and provides actionable strategies for growth toward greater cultural competence. This assessment is particularly valuable for professionals working with diverse communities, equipping them with tools to navigate cultural differences effectively.

Learn more about how the IDI works and how you can access it through Maryland CASA’s training opportunities. Don’t miss this chance to enhance your cultural competency and make a meaningful impact in your community!
