Webinar Description:
This webinar will support the implementation of a recovery-oriented system of care that aligns with Hispanic and Latino/é cultural values. The goal of mental health services is to cultivate an environment in which individuals with lived experiences of mental health concerns feel comfortable seeking care, engaging in treatment, and supported on their journey towards recovery. Understanding the various barriers to recovery-oriented reform (individual, cultural, and structural), developing recovery-oriented competencies, and communicating recovery-oriented messages within Hispanic and Latino/é communities can enhance a recovery-oriented system of care.

*Latiné (pronounced la·ˈti·ne) is a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by LGBTQIA+, gender non-binary, and feminist communities in Spanish speaking countries. The objective of the term Latiné is to remove gender from the Spanish word Latino, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter é.
