Promoting Equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Populations: Words Matter Wednesdays

-

This series explores equitable terminology that promotes social justice for populations where language has often been used to shame individuals, patronize, enforce prejudice, or limit visibility. Each session will provide updated language that helps advance equity within their population of focus. Each session will be an hour total, with 15 minutes reserved for Q&A. Behavioral health professionals and those who interact with or write about these individuals are encouraged to attend, including those leading other Centers of Excellence, Technology Transfer Centers, and others administering programs aimed at increasing access to mental health care. The aim of the series is to move forward in advancing equity through language.

Each session of this live activity is eligible for (1) Continuing Education credit. The session on May 29th focuses on promoting equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations.
