Dual Diagnosis Professional Conference Series
Bringing America Greatness - Serving the Disability Community with Cultural Competency/Do No Harm
February 19, 2026 - 10:00am – 1:00pm
Session Description:
Cultural Competency is necessary for every American, regardless of age, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, economic status, disability or handicap. Being different does not guarantee the ability to relate positively to our diversity, in a personal or professional way. This training will help develop skills that focus on living-working-playing-learning together. These skills must be practiced and learned across all sectors of our society. Emphasis will be placed on equity as a right for all Americans embraced by leaders of people everywhere from birth to adulthood. Thus, cultural competency as a skill set is both beyond, but essential to diversity and inclusion efforts, providing a chemistry for “greatness” in America.
Session is free, but registration is required, attendance is on a first come, first served basis.
Please review the attached flyer for additional details
The session will be offered virtually via the Zoom© platform. The Zoom link for joining the session will be sent to the email you used to register. This link will be unique to your registration. Please do not share this link.
