    Description
    This course will examine the unique needs, issues, and concerns within diverse communities in respect to the impact of substance use disorders, intervention needs, and responses to treatment. An overview of historical, cultural, social, health and environmental factors impacting diverse communities will be discussed, as well as the role of ethnic and cultural practices. Particular attention will be given to population characteristics such as ethnicity/race, gender, age, economic, sexual orientation, and disability status. Ethnic and cultural differences will be emphasized to provide students with the skills needed to communicate effectively with diverse populations to create equitable, healthier and safer counseling environments.
