DO MINORITY WOMEN HAVE ANY SPECIAL PROBLEMS?
Frequently there are more cultural barriers to minority women seeking treatment. The sex role conditioning minority women experience is magnified, and there is more interference to seeking outside assistance for a “family problem” (especially when that program is not based in their culture). Once these women enter our program, though, they are less likely to leave before completing treatment. We work hard to provide women with cultural contacts and experiences while they are here.
