NeC-ROTAC Webinar – Health Equity and Intersectionality (Rural Communities)

October 15 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

As we lean more and more into equity in a variety of spaces and places, health equity has become a significant part of this ongoing conversation. Health and the concepts of equity are interconnected in a variety of ways when working with our clients, not just around health outcomes, but improving their overall quality of life. Another aspect to this connection is the concept of intersectionality and how it has an impact on how and why clients may or may not access care or have adequate access to receive care. This workshop will lean into the connection between health equity and intersectionality and how they each play a role in providing equitable substance use care in rural communities.

Presenter: Dr. Delores Blackwell, LCSW, is a multijurisdictional licensed clinical social worker. She has held numerous administrative and clinical positions within both the addictions and mental health disciplines. She is an adjunct professor at both Touro College and Hunter College Silberman Schools of Social Work. In conjunction with her numerous roles, she also conducts and develops trainings for mental health and addictions professionals in both direct practice and leadership positions. She is currently a Research Project Manager at the New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University Medical Center, where she works with the Opioid Response Network and Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Center within the Northeast and Caribbean (HHS Region 2).
