Resources for Non-English Speaking Clients

An important part of cultural competence is being able to reach clients in their native languages. To that end, CSAT distributed the following email:

The Multi-Language Initiative (MLI) of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) has released new publications for members of non–English-speaking groups or those with limited English-language abilities.

MLI presents new adaptations of What Is Substance Abuse Treatment? A Booklet for Families, created for Chinese-, Vietnamese-, and Korean-language audiences. The publication answers questions often asked by family members and significant others of people entering treatment and includes a list of support groups.

Additional MLI products available in Spanish, Russian, and Navajo can be downloaded from the KAP website.
