Inclusion Academy, Culturally Responsive Care for Patients with Mental Illness and Addiction

April 23, 2026, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

Mental illness and addiction affect individuals across all backgrounds—but cultural understanding can make all the difference in how care is received and outcomes are achieved. Join us for a powerful webinar that explores how culturally responsive care can transform the way we support patients facing mental health and addiction challenges.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understand what mental illness is and how it uniquely affects diverse populations.
  • Recognize common addictions and how to provide culturally responsive care that respects patients’ backgrounds and experiences.
  • Identify actionable steps to effectively support individuals with mental health and addiction challenges in a culturally sensitive way.

This session is ideal for healthcare providers, behavioral health professionals, and community advocates who are committed to equitable, person-centered care.

Register now to be part of this essential conversation!

Let’s work together to break stigma, build trust, and ensure every patient receives the care they deserve.
