Live Professional Workshop: The Why's and How's of LGBTQ+ Affirmative Care
The presentation will focus on addressing the importance of providing tailored, culturally competent, LGBTQ+ affirmative psychological interventions to LGBTQ individuals. We will cover how the impact of perceived heterosexist bias, homophobia, and therapists’ general lack of understanding and/or adequate training of gender and sexual diversity may result in distrust and/or avoidance of medical or mental health services. The lecture will provide healthcare providers with a deeper understanding of the significance of LGBTQ affirmative care and equip them with strategies and practical tips for delivering culturally competent and respectful care to all patients, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The goal is to empower healthcare providers to make positive changes in their approach to LGBTQ patient care.

Live Professional Workshop: Why Mental Health Matters in the Latinx Community: Nuestro Salud Mental es Importante
The latest US Census indicates that 18.9% of the US population is Latino/Hispanic, up from 16.3% in 2010, and expected to reach 24.3% by 2050. It is estimated that around 13% of the 62.1 million Latinos in the US are undocumented. As the population continues to increase, access to health and mental wellness services has not kept up with the growth. The Latino/Hispanic community may not seek mental wellness services for a number of reasons such as culturally and linguistically appropriate providers, misconceptions about mental health, lack of insurance, hierarchy of needs, and geographical placements of mental health agencies and organizations. It's important for the mental health profession to support the Latino/Hispanic community through cultural awareness, cultural inclusivity, cultural humility, and cultural intentionality because their mental health matters.
