Project Abstract: This Conference Grant
will support three annual conferences aimed at
sharing state of the art scientific research and
best professional practices to address mental
health disparities of racial/ethnic minorities
and immigrants. The successive themes for the
three years are (a) addressing the intersections
between race and culture in scientific research
and mental health service delivery for children,
adolescents, and families; and (b) examination
of the intersection of culture, race, trauma and
mental health across the life span; and (c) racial
identity and cultural factors in treatment and
service delivery. The primary common goals and
objectives of each of the conferences are to:
(1) Share state of the art mental health theory,
research, and practice with respect to the roles
of race and culture in the etiology, maintenance,
and remediation of mental health disparities;
(2) Use strategies to engage scientist-practitioners
and mental health service providers in interdisciplinary
communication and collaboration to address the
role of culture and race in their research, practice,
and service delivery; (3) Develop and disseminate
information regarding race and culture and mental
health disparities. Speakers for the conference
will be nationally and internationally acknowledged
researchers and clinicians presenting in the areas
of expertise via interactive formats.
