About this course

PLEASE NOTE THAT DATES & TIMES MIGHT CHANGE. 

Major racial disparities in access to health care exist in the US, resulting in Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color (BIPOC) experiencing higher rates of chronic health problems including substance use disorders and mental health conditions. In the last decade, recovery support services have continued to expand in clinical, non-clinical, and community settings. People in recovery most severely and systematically marginalized by race continue to face significant barriers to accessing recovery support services – a result of the convergence of interpersonal and structural racism and discriminatory policies and practices across systems.

Recovery support service providers – community-based, clinical, and non-clinical – are increasingly focusing on delivering effective, culturally responsive, racially equitable services to meet the needs of Communities of Color. This focus includes developing skills for having open and honest discussions about racial equity, learning about the history of race and racism in the US and recovery spaces, and applying anti-racist practices in daily work.

During this Beginning course, we will help participants assess their readiness to take action, develop an implementation strategy, develop a guiding framework and action plan, and take first critical steps to starting the action plan. This course will also help participants process through potential barriers to implementation.

Learning Objectives:

As a result of completing this course successfully, participants will be able to:

  • Assess readiness to take action by evaluating personal and organizational structures
  • Develop an implementation strategy to share for feedback and review
  • Create an action plan from the implementation strategy and consider potential opportunities and barriers
  • Identify critical next steps for implementation and necessary supports
