SUMMARY:Exploring Latino/x Mental Health: Assimilation and Acculturation
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Latino/x Mental Health: Assimilation and Acculturation \nThe Latino/x community in the U.S. often grapples with the processes of Assimilation (fully adopting the new\, more dominant culture) and/or Acculturation (embracing the original culture and adapting to the dominant one) which can be challenging at best and painfully disorienting for many. This session focuses on the complex impact of these two processes on the behaviors\, relationships\, and values of first and second-generation Latino/x immigrants. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will have~ \n\nIdentified aspects of Assimilation and Acculturation from the first and second-generation U.S. Latino/x immigrant perspective\nExplored the advantages and disadvantages of Assimilation and Acculturation experiences and the mental health impact associated with them\nConsidered the stress of the immigration experience in relation to a sense of self\, safety\, and belonging\n\n  \nAbout the Presenter \nYsabel Garcia is a first-generation Dominican immigrant with a bold and ambitious mission to dive heart first into raw and honest conversations about mental health\, equity\, and suicide prevention. She is a social justice educator\, skilled dialogue facilitator\, wounded healer\, and disruptor of systems of oppression. \nShe embodies her messaging and personality through Estoy Aqui LLC\, a grassroots initiative that provides suicide prevention training and social justice education to organizations and institutions serving the Latino/x and Black community. Her main goal is to raise awareness of the underlying social\, cultural\, and racial factors that create conditions for suicide to exist in these populations. \nShe has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Public Health from Bay Path University. \n  \n\n\n\n  \nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:Calling in the Call Out Culture with Loretta Ross
DESCRIPTION:Register on Eventbrite \n  \nWe are facing a tumultuous future in this country and the subsequent need for caring and healing relationships between adults and young people has never been more important. In order to build a unified and strategic human rights movement that weaves our strengths together\, we need to use our differences as a platform for modeling a positive future built on justice and the politics of love\, rather than a return to the past based on the politics of fear and prejudice. \nHow does “calling-out\,” or public shaming\, advance social justice ideas and lay the groundwork for important discussions? “Calling In the Call Out Culture\,” explores alternatives to the call-out ethos featuring feminist and anti-racist scholar-activist Loretta Ross. Ross believes that fighting against oppression and injustice are the dues we pay for the privilege of being conscious and we are honored to be able to challenge it with great responsibility. In our shared commitment to supporting one another – calling people in rather than calling them out\, is a prerequisite for building a united movement.
