The Evolution of Latino Identities and Mental Health

“The National Hispanic and Latino MHTTC presents a free webinar on Latino identities and mental health. What are the different terms that have been used to describe Latino populations and how have such terms evolved? Mark Hugo Lopez, PhD, director of global migration and demography research at Pew Research Center, and Darice Orobitg, PhD, clinical psychologist, will discuss how different generations may use different terms to self-identify and variables involved in this process such as acculturation and assimilation. The presentation will consider anthropological as well as psychosocial contexts in ethnic identification as well as their impact on the mental health of Latino populations.”

“Who should attend?  This is a basic level workshop designed for mental health providers including psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, and graduate level students in the mental health field.”
