SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Matthew R. Mock, Ph.D., has a private practice, clinical and consulting practice, and is a professor of psychology and an award winning national and international trainer. Through his teaching activities, he is helping develop the “next generation” of diverse mental health providers. Dr. Mock was the Director of the Family, Youth, Children’s and Multicultural Services, City of Berkeley Mental Health Division for twenty years. Dr. Mock went on to serve as the Director for the Center of Multicultural Development with the California Institute for Mental Health. Dr. Mock has consulted, trained or provided services in over 45 of California’s 58 counties.
Dr. Mock will provide a series of trainings and be available for consultation to support the ability of Behavioral Health Bureau (“BHB”) staff members to provide culturally competent services to the community and in the workplace. Dr. Mock’s work includes the State of California’s focus of “Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility” as well as “Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards (Federal Office of Minority Health).” The course work provides a shared foundation for enhancing cultural diversity, equity, inclusion and humility.
The Contractor has provided proof of Commercial General Liability with an additional insured endorsement, Personal Automobile Liability, and Professional Liability; however, cannot provide the Automobile additional insured endorsement nor the General and Automobile primary and non-contributory endorsements, as required by the County. The Health Department recommends the modification to the insurance requirements as Dr. Mock will not be providing transportation to clients or County staff.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 strategic initiative: Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services and supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 8) Assure competent public and personal health care workforce.
