This one and half-hour online session will focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color. The pandemic both highlighted enduring racial and ethnic health disparities and exacerbated already existing disparities, resulting in negative impacts on the Hispanic and Latinx communities. While the Hispanic and Latinx community is strong and resilient, information regarding the negative impacts of the pandemic on this community is needed to inform recommendations for recovery.
Part 1 of this webinar series will review qualitative and quantitative findings regarding the impact, including the mental and behavioral health impact, of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hispanic and Latinx residents of Ohio. Findings may offer insight into the experience of Hispanics and Latinxs broadly and may offer targets for intervention.
Part 2 of this webinar series will focus on recommendations for recovery, particularly related to mental and behavioral health, which may help inform local, regional, state, and national efforts to promote equity, healing, and recovery.
Learning objectives:
1) Identify structural and social factors driving COVID-19 health disparities among the Hispanic and Latinx community
2) Discuss physical and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Hispanic and Latinx community
3) Discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hispanic and Latinx mental and behavioral health
4) Outline recommendations for recovery in a culturally relevant context
5) Outline recommendations to promote mental and behavioral health equity for the Hispanic and Latinx community
Who should attend? This is an intermediate-level workshop designed for mental health providers including psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, and graduate level students in the mental health field.
