Description
The growth of the Latino population over the last two decades, combined with the stressors they experience, has lead to an increase need for mental health services. However despite the increased need, Latinos continue to underutilize mental health services. The workshop aims to increase competence in culture-specific interventions with Latinos in clinical practice. Specifically, this workshop will focus on four areas of training: psychosocial stressors many Latinos may experience; factors that contribute to underutilization of counseling services; engaging Latino individuals and Latino men in particular in the counseling process; culture specific interventions with Latino men.
