Welcome to the SomaliCAN Outreach Newsletter!

This is a Monthly Newsletter sponsored by the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council’s Outreach Subcommittee to provide information and resources to the underserved Somali population and to promote more interagency collaboration and coordination. The goal is to give information and resources to the community and to promote cultural competence in agencies providing services to the un-served and underserved populations in Ohio.

The SomaliCAN Outreach Newsletter will do the following:

• Increase the awareness of services available
• Increase awareness of grant and funding opportunities
• Increase understanding of issues that impact minorities with developmental disabilities
• Include an analysis & summary of polling
• Answer Frequently Asked Questions
• Navigating the Service System
• Various diversity/cultural competence highlights and Outreach Messages

If you, or another person you know, would like to give feedback, suggest a topic or contribute an article, please call us on (614) 781-1414 or e-mail us at info@somalican.org. A member of our editorial team will respond to your questions in the shortest time possible.
