Cicatelli Associates Inc. (CAI) is a nonprofit organization that provides training and capacity development for health and human services providers, both nationally and internationally. For 30 years our work has enhanced the breadth and quality of health care and social services delivered to underserved and vulnerable populations. CAI addresses some of the most challenging health issues of our times by working to overcome health disparities, eliminate stigma and discrimination, and provide solutions to addressing increasing needs with decreasing resources.

TACKLING TOUGH ISSUES
CAI finds practical ways to reduce the impact of a problem. We invite new perspectives, explore every aspect of a dilemma, and forge partnerships with others who are committed to change. We develop training programs, seminars, and conferences that clarify the major issues and move communities in a positive direction, one step at a time.

TEACHING NEW SKILLS
CAI practices the principles of adult learning with an interactive and dynamic approach. Our staff are highly experienced professionals who are experts in psychology, psychiatry, medicine, behavioral science, social services and education. CAI trainers encourage and inspire ever higher expectations, contributing to a tomorrow that is better than today.

MEETING NEW NEEDS
From new diseases to emerging pockets of poverty, some new needs present tough, intractable issues, while others are baffling only because they’re unfamiliar. An effective response to any new problem begins with analysis. CAI combines our resources with staff knowledge and experience to find the best starting point for reaching solutions.

RAISING THE BAR
CAI helps people to analyze their relationship to their immediate environment and to the larger world. We assist in articulating concerns in ways that prompt development and growth. CAI trainers give staff the skills to respond to a changing environment and they ask probing questions about how this change can be made constructive.

BUILDING BRIDGES
CAI is expert in building and rebuilding the bridges that make systems of health care, education, and communication services work for people. We build bridges between management and staff. Between staff and clients. Between communities with common needs. And between providers so they can exchange information, share responsibility, and better meet the needs of the people they serve.
