Racial Inequities in Substance Use Webinar
Now Available On-Demand
|
|
 |
The American Psychiatric Association's webinar on racial inequities in the treatment of substance use disorders is now available on-demand. The webinar drew one of the highest attendance of a PCSS webinar to date, with more than 1,000 participants.
In case you missed it, here is the webinar description:
Untreated substance use disorders contribute to thousands of deaths each year. Although there are treatments available, many communities have not accessed them. The reasons for this are multifactorial including stigma, mistrust, discrimination, racism and criminalization of substance use. This activity will highlight the inequities in substance use treatment including federal and state policies that have influenced the criminalization of substance use. The webinar will include strategies for assessing, diagnosing, and treating substance use disorders in racial and ethnic minorities.
