Remote Only Event

Attorneys adopt habits and patterns for many good reasons. Efficiency and quality control are just two. Still, we as attorneys may develop practices for counselling our clients or drafting health care directives that need rethinking to meet the needs of individuals with different cultural backgrounds and lived experiences than our own.

Staff members from VOA Culturally Responsive Caregiver Support and Dementia Services and Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid will share from their experiences serving individuals of African American, East African, and Hmong heritage. These perspectives may help attorneys neutralize stigmas standing between well-intentioned providers of legal services and the clients they seek to serve.
