Gender Specific / Cultural Competence Strategies
Description
By 2044, the United States is expected to become a majority-minority nation, meaning that more than half of the
population will belong to a minority racial or ethnic group. Addiction prevention, treatment and recovery services must adapt to meet the diverse cultural and linguistic needs of our clients. This session will present an actionable framework offered by the federal Office of Minority Health’s National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) and provide ample best practices and resources to help you advance your organization’s culturally responsive
practices and policies.
