CAS 140 - Addiction and Diversity

Credit(s): 1

Addiction affects all members of society, and the substance abuse counselor must be knowledgeable of differing cultural and ethnic needs where they are practicing. This course builds a solid foundation of multicultural competencies, understanding how working with clients and peers from diverse backgrounds and those with experiences, beliefs, and preferences which differ from our own can greatly enhance effective practice in the field of addiction treatment.
