The National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards were developed by the Office of Minority Health in response to health and health care disparities and changing demographics.  The CLAS standards are a structured outline of actionable items that organizations and professionals may consider undertaking to improve the quality of services, some of which can include culturally responsive services, client and provider cultural perspectives, language based challenges, all which ultimately help reduce health disparities and attain health equity.

This interactive three-part webinar (two hours each) will provide an overview of the CLAS Standards and how providers might implement culturally and linguistically appropriate strategies to heighten engagement opportunities, improve quality of care, and effect recovery support to diverse communities.

This training meets the requirements for six renewal hours (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and six initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS). 

Participants must attend all three sessions in their entirety to receive a certificate of completion.
