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.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
- Identify gaps and barriers Latino/Hispanic communities encounter when seeking mental health services.
- Explore how to connect with individuals through cultural inclusiveness and awareness.
- Define solutions that help create access to mental health support while considering culture, needs, and preferences.
