Presenter: Guadalupe A. Velasquez, Director
Description:
In this workshop, we will explore the daily challeges that the Latinx community encounters, including the continuous threat that opioid addiction poses to the well-being of the community and its members. We will discuss how the Latinx community is regarded and treated, as well as how these stereotypes create barriers in accessing healthcare services.
Finally, we will examine the role that these specific barriers play in the ongoing opioid crisis. Workshop participants will learn methods of effective communication based on a culturally competent perspective, and how to create a workplace of belonging for personnel, colleagues, and clients.
Participant-Centered Learning Objectives:
- Participants will become aware of the positive social, cultural and economic impact the Latinx community continues to have on the Ohio economy.
- Learn of the devastating impact that opioids have had on the Latinx community.
- Best practices in serving the Latins community. Gain an awareness of what a "place-based community of belonging" means to them, and how to create this type of community in their workplace and with their clients.
- Presented with demographic and statistical structures of the Latinx community in Ohio, including the richness of its diversity.
