A Cross-Training Action Plan should include strategies to address priority areas, challenges, and gaps identified at the point of service by clients, the community, and providers. Strategies may be needed for:

• Clarifying barriers to effective interaction among workers in different systems at points of service;
• Changing policies to support collaboration;
• Reallocating some resources;
• Adapting specific culturally based practices;
• Conducting advocacy across systems;
• Forming new partnerships and agreements;
• Promoting linkages among trainers and training systems;
• Preparing applications for funding of new training and programs;
• Replicating Cross-Training; and
• Accessing other training resources and information.
