Ongoing disparities in behavioral healthcare are being intensified by shifts in policy and reductions in community-based services and supports. These changes have impacted client well-being, access to care, and trust in mental health systems. Many providers are seeking guidance on how to navigate these complex challenges in a respectful and inclusive way. This training offers practical strategies to help clinicians provide responsive, equity-informed care that supports all clients within today’s evolving social and policy landscape.
