It is not possible to parallel the number of treatment and recovery service providers who are Hispanic and Latino with the number of Hispanic and Latino people who need those services. Fortunately, providers do not have to share ethnicity with the people they serve to be culturally responsive and skilled. Providers can increase their knowledge and awareness and incorporate their knowledge into practice in daily interactions.

Aware of this reality, the National Hispanic and Latino Mental Health Technology Transfer Center has a catalog of products, trainings, and technical assistance that enhances the education of the workforce with topics that contribute to the enrichment, knowledge, and competence in relevant topics for Hispanic and Latino populations.
