Diversity/Cultural Consultation
MPA has compiled a list of mental health professionals who are knowledgeable about groups/populations and willing to provide complimentary, brief (less than 15 minutes) clinical case consultation to other mental health professionals. We refer to these professionals as "cultural brokers." We hope this list will allow an expansion of services to diverse groups that may not otherwise receive care due to lengthy wait lists at specialty clinics and poor access to services. This brief consultation is not a substitute for clinical training; rather, it is an avenue for peer consultation and a springboard for continued learning and growth.
If you are interested in being added to this list, please contact [email protected] and provide the following information: area of expertise, phone number, and email address. Please also contact [email protected] if you have a request for a professional with expertise in a specific population not yet listed.
