NYAPRS Note: There is still time to join the MRLC and attend this presentation by our esteemed friends which has been getting rave reviews from Behavioral Health Leaders all across the country. NYAPRS is now bringing our members this opportunity for you and your team to hear from the leaders in this field. “Cultural Activation” is a type of consumer health activation that affirms personal cultural views on health and supports the need for these views to be incorporated into all aspects of health care, particularly behavioral health care. Since the achievement of health literacy must take place in the context of culture and community, cultural activation is a necessary part of the process.
This session will include the definition of “cultural activation,” descriptions of tools to help consumers engage in culturally-oriented discussions with providers which are called “cultural activation prompts”, and a perspective on the strengths and challenges of this approach from a peer specialist’s perspective. Don’t miss this exciting webinar and chance to learn a new “cutting edge” technology for active and successful engagement.
The MRLC is a special Members only benefit. If you are not a member and would like to learn more about MRLC and other member-only benefits, please contact mary@nyaprs.org .
