Your voice, your choice: advocating for personal and cultural needs in care 💪
Mind Matters
with Shawna Sielert, LPC
Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. Our culture, values and life experiences can shape the type of care that works best for each of us.
As a patient, it's important to know your rights and learn to advocate for your care. We all deserve treatment that honors our identity, preferences and goals. When we speak up about your needs, ask questions and stay involved in our care, we can find support that feels right for us.
Here’s Shawna Sielert, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with practical tips for advocating for your personal and cultural needs in health care and mental health treatment.
