AANHPI Trauma-Informed Care & Other Services: Bridging Community- and Evidence-Based Practices

August 1, 2024

About

This workshop aims to bridge the gap between implementing evidence- and community-based practices in mental health services, particularly for Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. Academic researchers, students, government officers, practitioners, community-based mental health practitioners and program directors are welcome to attend this workshop to discuss current and past collaboration projects between researchers and community-based service providers, and issues of translational research and practices for enhancing health and well-being for AANHPI communities. This workshop particularly aims to connect those who are working to promote culturally competent and grounded trauma-informed care, health and well-being for AANHPI children and families.
