5th Annual South Asian Mental Health Conference

A 2-day virtual event bringing together students, professionals and community members to discuss many aspects of South Asian Mental Health including but not limited to stigmas of mental health, barriers to utilization of services, lack of research, importance of religion/culture, and gaps in support and supervision. This year we want to continue to showcase the beauty and diversity in South Asian cultures and highlight resilience within these communities during times of uncertainty. Too often the diversity in cultural values, practice, and celebrations is not recognized. The conference will address spirituality, religion, traditional forms of healing, culturally sensitive interventions/research practice, and community grassroots/social justice practices. This virtual conference will bring together South Asian mental health providers from all over the world to have difficult dialogues and continue challenging stigmas of mental health within South Asian communities.

CE Units Approved and Offered by The Hume Center. See Schedule for more information.
