​The Importance of Culturally Competent Care for the Latinx Community 

August 27, 2025 - 9:00AM to 11:30AM 

2.5 CEUs offered​

Presented by Guadalupe Velasquez

In this workshop, we will explore the daily challenges that the Latinx community encounters, including the continuous threat that opioid addiction poses to the well-being of the community and its members. We will discuss how the Latinx community is regarded and treated, as well as how these stereotypes create barriers in accessing healthcare services.

Finally, we will examine the role that these specific barriers play in the ongoing opioid crisis. Workshop participants will learn methods of effective communication based on a culturally competent perspective, and how to create a workplace of belonging for personnel, colleagues, and clients.

“The cultural community competency workshop provided knowledge of implicit and explicit biases. Understanding we are not necessarily bound by our in our thoughts."
