Understanding and Addressing Substance Use Disorders among Hispanic and Latine Adolescents and Young Adults: A Conversation for Healthcare Providers


Date: April 5, 2024 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET


* We will offer simultaneous interpretation to Spanish. *


Description:


About 27% (2.4 million) of Hispanic/Latine young adults aged 18-25 meet the criteria for a substance use, alcohol use, or drug use disorder, this demographic also being the most likely among all Hispanic age groups of having used illicit drugs at some point. Involving parents and families as part of the conversations with youth around substance use is recognized as a crucial best practice for engagement and treatment within Hispanic and Latine populations.  

 

This panel discussion seeks to equip healthcare providers with knowledge, cultural attuned outreach and engagement strategies, as well as successful practices to effectively communicate with Hispanic/Latine parents about substance use disorders (SUD), overdose risks, and harm reduction strategies in adolescents and young adults. The forum will foster strength-based approaches, trust building capacities and dialogues around lived experiences that help promote awareness, prevention, and support for Hispanic and Latine youth and families who may be affected by substance use issues.

Comprendiendo y atendiendo los trastornos por uso de sustancias entre adolescentes y adultos jóvenes hispanos y latines: Una conversación para proveedores de salud  


Date: April 5 @ 1:00PM- 2:30PM ET


* Tendremos interpretación simultánea al español *


Descripción:


Aproximadamente el 27% (2.4 millones) de los adultos jóvenes hispanos/latine de 18 a 25 años cumplen con los criterios para un trastorno por uso de sustancias, uso de alcohol o uso de drogas, siendo este grupo edad demográfico también el más probable entre todos los grupos de hispanos en haber usado drogas ilícitas en algún momento. Involucrar a los padres y familias en las conversaciones con los jóvenes sobre el uso de sustancias se reconoce como una práctica fundamental para el compromiso y tratamiento en las poblaciones hispanas y latinas. 

 

Esta mesa redonda busca equipar a los proveedores de atención médica con conocimientos, estrategias de alcance y compromiso culturalmente adecuadas, así como prácticas exitosas para comunicarse efectivamente con los padres hispanos/latinos sobre los trastornos por uso de sustancias (SUD), los riesgos de sobredosis y las estrategias de reducción de daños en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. El foro fomentará enfoques basados en fortalezas, capacidades de confianza y diálogos en experiencias vividas que ayuden a promover el conocimiento, prevención y apoyo entre jóvenes y familias hispanas y latinas afectados por problemas de uso de sustancias.

Raíces' newly released Training on Suicide Prevention and Intervention in the Latine Community

 

 

Raíces is excited to announce the release of a new virtual on-demand training entitled Suicide Prevention and Intervention for Latine Communities.  The training is sponsored by the American Psychological Association (APA) for 3 continuing education credits and meets the Oregon legislative requirement for mental health professionals to receive 3-hours of suicide prevention training or cultural competency. The Oregon Health Authority has generously sponsored the training to be free of charge for mental health professionals licensed in Oregon, including psychologists, clinical social workers, and licensed mental health counselors.  

 

The training focuses on using culturally responsive practices to improve suicide prevention, assessment, and intervention for Latine individuals. The training emphasizes evidenced-based practical tools and skills related to improving diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and clinical practices when working with Latine communities around suicide. Additionally, the training emphasizes sociocultural factors, values and practices related to Latine mental health. Please circulate to your network!

 

We are very honored to be one of fourteen organizations sponsored by APA for continuing education in Oregon. Keep an eye on our virtual education platform for upcoming trainings offered for credit as well.
