The National Alliance on Mental Illness recognizes that current environmental factors are traumatizing people of color, increasing stress and contributing to substance use and other mental and physical health related complications. These factors can also add to provider stress inducing hidden bias and directive communication which often leads to ineffective interactions and client outcomes. Organizations that integrate cultural humility in policies, protocols, and service delivery, tend to provide highest levels of culturally responsive care.

This interactive (3 hour) virtual training will review the core components of cultural humility as a person-centered approach, taking a 'concept to application' approach to practice integration. The content also reviews culturally and linguistically appropriate services standards (CLAS) for advancing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) for organizational wellbeing. Consequently, DEIB supports an inclusive and culturally affirming atmosphere for promoting recovery and wellness for racial, ethnic, and other underserved populations served.

NOTE: This training is a closed event for staff at CPC Behavioral Healthcare.
