Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:

Analyze equity data and discuss the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion issues on health care access, experiences, and outcomes
Describe the systemic impact of social determinants of health on substance use disorder
Demonstrate individual actions toward addressing racial disparities in the context of substance use disorder

Presentation Summary: This interactive workshop will provide you with an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues through a racial equity lens. We will explore the potential impact of these issues on our beliefs towards those with backgrounds different from our own and how those beliefs can impact the people we serve and the continuum of care for substance use disorder. This workshop is an opportunity to reflect on ways to create more welcoming and inclusive places of business for our staff and clients, as well as look at ways organizations can support DEI efforts.
