The goal of this training is to increase the awareness and abilities of school mental health providers in the use of cultural elements by promoting the use of culturally appropriate formulations when treating Hispanics and Latino youth presenting with psychological, mental, and substance use disorders. Current research findings inform this training on the impact of cultural factors on the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders and the therapeutic relationship.

The objectives of the training are to:

• Distinguish between cultural sensitivity and cultural competence in school-based mental health treatment.
• Discuss major factors that affect youth mental health and academic performance.
