“Non-Latinos can provide culturally competent mental health services to Latino clients with appropriate training and background”.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported only 11.5% Latinx representation in education and health services, and around 5% of United States psychologists are Hispanic or Latinx. The National Hispanic Heritage Month Part II: The Experience of Being a Non-Latino Mental Health Professional Who Works with Latinx Clients: Providing Appropriate Transcultural Care, is designed to increase health equity among Latinx populations. This booklet describes approaches to enlist non-Latinx providers to address Latinx health and behavioral health inequities and provide strategies to increase the competency and proficiency of all providers who work with Latinx communities. Several strategies described to increase cultural responsiveness among non-Latinx providers include exploring cultural themes like diversity, language, personalismo, and compromiso and using the ADDRESSING Cultural Differences Sketch to approach cultural diversity during therapy sessions.

Esta hoja informativa se basa en el seminario web presentado por Luis Zayas, PhD. En los últimos 30 años, las jóvenes latinas han presentado tasas más altas de intentos de suicidio en comparación con otros grupos. El índice de riesgo de suicidio en los 12 meses posteriores a un intento suicida es de aproximadamente 1.6% y, alrededor de 3.9% después de 5 años, lo cual destaca la importancia de abordar las conductas suicidas. Algunas de las razones relacionadas con los intentos de suicidio en los jóvenes incluyen vulnerabilidades cognitivas y emocionales, pobres estrategias de afrontamiento, falta de conexión social y capacidad adquirida. Los clínicos que trabajan con poblaciones latinas deben considerar la aculturación, las experiencias traumáticas, los valores culturales y los modelos culturalmente sensibles al momento de diagnosticar y tratar a las comunidades latinas con historial de intentos de suicidio.

This one and half-hour online session discusses the Culturally Modified-Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CM-TFT). CM-TFT is an Evidence-Based Therapy proven to be effective for Hispanic and Latino children and adolescents that experienced traumatic events. The adaptations (CM-TFT) include culture specific topics like spirituality, gender roles, family, personalism, respect, among other cultural elements. The therapy's main goals are to identify trauma experiences, provide psychoeducation, increase affect regulation, identify cultural considerations, process adverse experiences in a safe environment, in-vivo exposure and to enhance safety. During this presentation, participants will be able to recognize TF-CBT components using a case study of a 6-year-old girl from El Salvador exposed to domestic violence. Participants will learn how to include cultural adaptations while providing therapy to Latino clients and their families. Resources and recommendations regarding TF-CBT for Latino children and youth will be provided.
