Wednesday, February 5, 2020 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST

Early termination from substance use disorder treatment is greater among African Americans seeking recovery than the general population. In this webinar, you will learn strategies to engage African-American clients in SUD treatment. Topics covered include overcoming barriers to mistrust, engaging clients within the first 10 minute of contact, creating a welcoming environment, increasing treatment retention and completion, addressing intersectionality and microaggressions, and effective cross-cultural counseling.
