AAPI Phases of Treatment: Active Care and Interventions: Part I

DMH UCLA Public Mental Health Partnership

Culturally informed care refers to the capacity to provide quality informed interventions that acknowledges, honors, and integrates clients’ historical experiences, cultural values, beliefs and practices. This training will provide information on how reactions to trauma and mental health presentations vary across Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) cultures. We will delve deeper into culturally sensitive care and the importance of tailoring assessment questions to better understand how culture creates meaning and can be used as a roadmap to setting positive expectations with regard to treatment.
