Our Mission
Commitment to Culturally sensitive care
Let's Talk Healing understands the important role culture plays in people's lives and their mental health wellbeing. Mental illness has been shown through empirical evidence to have a cultural presentation and appraisal. We know that historical, geographical, and familial factors affect assessment and intervention and can be relevant in the care of clients from multicultural backgrounds. We are committed to providing communities of ethnic background, culturally appropriate mental health services by utilizing the individual's cultural practice, education, and community resources to ensure the best outcomes. Let's Talk Healing has the capacity to serve people of all ethnicity and culture. The unique background of staff provides a unique capacity and expertise working with Somali, Oromo, Ethiopian, Hmong, African American, and Native American clients.
It is important for Let's Talk Healing to provide culturally specific services and therefore be culturally competent. Our mental health providers are trained in cultural sensitivity and have:
Awareness of their own backgrounds and the related assumptions, values, biases, and preferences that influence assessment ad intervention processes.
Ability and will to respond to the unique needs of an individual client that arise from the client's culture.
Ability to utilize the client's culture as a resource and as a means to optimize mental health care.
Willingness to seek educational, consultative, and learning experiences to expand knowledge of and increase effectiveness with culturally diverse populations.
Our Core Values
Person-center care: Our care emphasizes and highlights the needs of each client we serve.
Anti-Oppression: We acknowledge the ways racism can operate both implicitly and explicitly and understand its implication on our client's mental wellbeing. We engage in work that continuously challenges injustices and inequality. Our work with clients entails working in collaboration with other helping professionals. In our collaboration, we are committed to educating and engaging in difficult dialogue to ensure our clients are treated justly and with respect.
Education: We believe that education helps people think, feel, and act in ways that will contribute to not only improving their personal satisfaction but also the wellbeing of their community. We believe in the potential for growth for our staff and clients. We recognize providing training to the community as advocacy.
Integrity: We believe those who serve with integrity are gracious, respectful, honest, trustworthy, and responsible. We are accountable for upholding these characteristics in all our work and commit to providing fair, reliable, and transparent work.
