Join us to explore how addiction treatment can be more culturally safe and responsive.

Training Overview:
This session explores how addiction treatment can be strengthened by integrating culturally safe and responsive perspectives. We will revisit the traditional biopsychosocial model of addiction and highlight the need to expand the social dimension to include culture, community context, and the broader structural factors that shape individuals’ experiences with substance use. The role of spirituality and meaning-making will also be considered as an important component of healing within many cultural groups.

Participants will examine culture as a dynamic intersection of identities, with attention to how diverse populations, including Indigenous communities, immigrant populations, and other racialized groups experience addiction within unique historical, social, and political contexts. Throughout the session, we emphasize cultural humility, self-reflection, and an effective “use of self” in clinical practice. Practical strategies and guiding questions will be offered to support clinicians in approaching clients with culturally responsive and ethically grounded care.

Facilitator: Dhwani Joshi, MSW, RSW:
Dhwani brings specialized experience in trauma and addictions across community, hospital, and international settings to her work. She has worked extensively in outpatient mental health programs, where she has helped develop and pilot group-based interventions for individuals with substance use concerns, including Seeking Safety and harm-reduction programming grounded in DBT and CBT principles. Dhwani’s work is rooted in culturally responsive and trauma-informed care, with a strong commitment to supporting clients through approaches that honour their identities, histories, and lived experiences. Dhwani brings a strong passion for body-based approaches to healing, and her international experiences of volunteering in Nicaragua and completing her MSW placement in Beijing have gifted her a unique perspective on how addictions, mental health, and trauma are understood across cultures. She is committed to honouring clients’ identities, histories, and lived experiences.
