implactofCLASandpeermovement

The National CLAS Standards are intended to advance health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities. This webinar will discuss how health care organizations need to ensure that awareness, adoption, and implementation of the National CLAS Standards are incorporated to have a more inclusive definition of culture in order to better serve homeless and recovering individuals.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Define the CLAS standards, themes and recommendations
  • Understand strategies for decreasing health disparities for people in recovery
  • Learn types of peer support and value of services delivered by peer-led experts
  • Explore key cultural and structural drivers of peer recovery (homelessness, poverty and other factors)
