Description:
This workshop will support behavioral health practitioners' ability to effectively support the wellbeing of Latine people. It will address three core questions: (1) How do we begin to understand the cultural identity of Latine people?, (2) What are the key qualities of Latine culture?, and (3) What are best practices for effectively working with the Latine community? The workshop will begin by considering the complex dynamics surrounding Latine/Latinx cultural identity. While this workshop is introductory in nature, it will assist any practitioner in their efforts towards intentional, skillful, and effective partnership with Latine people. While special attention will be provided to behavioral health practice, the majority of the content will be relevant to any practitioner including educators and administrators. The workshop will include time for discussion and open dialogue.
