Westchester Continuum of Care & Greater Mental Health of New York Presents: Cultural Competency: Words Matter!

Destigmatizing Mental Health, Substance Use, Trauma and Disabilities Through Language

Join us for an interactive, 90-minute training designed for providers in Westchester County who want to foster inclusive, trauma-informed care.

This session will explore how the language we use impacts stigma, engagement, and trust in healthcare and other social work/human services.

Participants will learn practical strategies and try hands-on exercises to replace stigmatizing terms with respectful, person-centered alternatives.

Together, we can build a culture where all individuals feel seen, valued and safe.
