While the statistics help to validate that the rates of mental health disorders are similar across racial groups, they also conceal a deeper inequity. What you can’t tell from the numbers is how the severity, persistence, contributing factors, and implications for the overall well-being of mental health conditions vary widely across demographic groups. Join us for a review of the stats and a discussion around ways to support the behavioral health needs of BIPOC individuals and communities.   To watch the recording, go to: https://youtu.be/B51mS5hpxRs   Presenter(s): Mary Roary, PhD Taylor Bryan Turner Jessica Isom, MD, MPH Maria E.

  Minority populations, including Latino families, faced economic challenges, including housing instability and increased food insecurity, negatively affecting students' school engagement. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these conditions, and new challenges emerged including job loss, struggles to find childcare, decreased access to resources, social isolation, and decreased overall mental health. Among children and youths, mental health concerns and school disengagement have been worsened during the pandemic. Moreover, children and youths are experiencing caring for other family members, exposure to interpersonal violence, lack of parental supervision and support, grief and loss, and increased risk of suicide. The National Hispanic and Latino Mental Health Technology Transfer Center will host a 3-part webinar series, Back to School … Promoting Resiliency and Mental Health Wellness in Latino Children: Strategies for Mental Health Providers, Teachers, and Parents. This webinar will examine the impact of COVID-19 on Latino students' mental health, discuss strategies to boost resiliency and improve mental health wellness, and create a plan to deal with unprecedented future situations like the pandemic.

  Immigration has a significant impact on many aspects of life in the United States. According to the Pew Research Center, there were 44.8 million foreign-born people living in the United States in 2018 -- a record 13.7% of the population and a portion that has more than quadrupled since the 1960s. With such high numbers, it is not uncommon for a mental health professional to receive a request to assist an individual involved in some type of immigration proceeding. This presentation will give a general overview of the different types of immigration cases where mental health professionals might be helpful and the different ways clinicians can assist this often disempowered diverse population. Learning Objectives: 1. List five different immigration statuses 2. Describe six different types of humanitarian relief for undocumented immigrants 3. Explain how a mental health professional can be helpful in immigration proceedings 4. Identify the psycho-legal question underlying each type of case

    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 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.

Además el presentador discutirá cómo los valores sociales pueden formar los mecanismos de manejo que se utilizan para manejar dichos estresores. Se presentará el Modelo Afirmativo LGBT+ como acercamiento recomendado para trabajar con comunidades latinx LGBT+ que experimentan dificultades de saludmnetal. Este modelo trabaja primeramente con la acceptación de la orientación sexual e identidad de género / expression de la persona y requiere conocimiento y sensitividad de parte de los proveedores de servicios de salud mental que trabajan con las comunidades.
