Providing Culturally-Affirming Care at La Concordia
At La Concordia, we are committed to providing culturally affirming care to all of our patients. We understand that mental healthcare is not one-size-fits-all, and we embrace the rich diversity of our community to ensure that everyone feels seen, heard, and represented. Our commitment to diversity is embedded in everything we do, from the care we provide to the policies that guide us.
Our Commitment
to Diversity
Contra Costa County is a diverse and multicultural community, and at La Concordia, we proudly reflect that diversity. Our team includes staff members and clinicians from a wide range of ethnicities and backgrounds, speaking multiple languages. We believe that embracing cultural diversity enhances our ability to provide the best possible care to every patient who walks through our doors.
A Multicultural Center for All
La Concordia is more than a mental healthcare facility – it’s a space where everyone is welcomed, supported, and respected. We understand that western therapeutic techniques are not best-suited for several populations. Our Multicultural Center is designed to serve the diverse needs of our community, providing care that acknowledges and appreciates your culture, traditions, and preferences.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policies
We are deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do. Our approach ensures that every patient, regardless of background, has access to high-quality healthcare in an environment that values and respects them. These approaches are put into practice daily, from patient interactions to the treatment plans we create, ensuring that cultural competence is integral to our clinical process.
Cultural Competency in Clinical Practice
Our cultural competency extends beyond respecting differences – it’s about integrating these understandings into our clinical care. By training our staff in cultural competency and working with community leaders and members, we tailor treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether it's providing translated materials and services, openness to cultural health practices, or simply listening with empathy, we make sure that every patient feels comfortable and valued during their journey with La Concordia.
