Webinar: Developing a shared language for diversity, equity and inclusion

The Opioid Response Network, in partnership with the Harborview Medical Center - Behavioral Health Institute, invites you to join us online for our first session: Developing a Shared Language For Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The purpose of this training is to provide you with an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues. 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. We understand that we all have different levels of understanding of these topics. This training is an opportunity to bring our diverse experiences together to sharpen our skills 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.

In this training, we will focus on:
-Reviewing baseline language to ground us in a shared understanding of DEI issues
-Exploring local equity data on the impact of DEI issues on health care access, experiences, and outcomes
-Unpacking myths about DEI and those impacted by these issues
-Reviewing situational examples and their implications for opioid and substance use disorder
