Words Matter Wednesdays: A Series on Advancing Equity Through Language Promoting Equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Populations

Please join for a series this May that will explore equitable terminology that promotes social justice for populations where language has often been used to shame individuals, patronize, enforce prejudice, or limit visibility. Each session will provide updated language that helps advance equity within their population of focus. Each session will be an hour total, with 15 minutes reserved for Q &A. We encourage behavioral health professionals and those who interact with or write about these individuals, including those leading other Centers of Excellence, Technology Transfer Centers, and others administering programs aimed at increasing access to mental health care to attend. Together, we hope to move forward in advancing equity through language.
