Supporting the Mental Health and Wellness of Immigrant Families

Friday, August 13, 2021

10:00 am - 12:00 pm

While the immigrant experience is varied, many suffer trauma, violence, racism, and multiple challenges adjusting to life in a new country. These experiences can significantly impact mental wellness, requiring understanding and support from the health and mental health community. This training will provide participants with a framework for working with immigrant communities, focusing on the mental health needs of these populations. The event will bring together providers in the field who work predominately with children and youth in immigrant households.

This event is brought to you by First 5 Alameda County, in partnership with UCSF Center for Child and Community Health and California Chapter 1, AAP.
