Berkeley Global
Many mental health problems among members of ethnic groups often remain unrecognized or unaddressed. Even when those who need help actually receive mental health care, adherence and follow-up rates remain low. In this workshop, you focus on evidence-based strategies to address two of the most common mental health problems among U.S. minority groups: post-traumatic stress disorders and depression. You develop the cultural sensitivity and consciousness skills necessary to deliver competent mental health care services to underserved, diverse populations with a focus on women.
