Training Description

Latiné families, especially immigrant families, continue to experience significant levels of stress and trauma exposure. Despite the need, service utilization remains low due to structural and cultural barriers. This training explores how culturally informed, evidence-based, and evidence-supported trauma care can enhance engagement and outcomes among Latiné children and families. Participants will gain tools and strategies to bridge gaps in care, integrate cultural values into trauma interventions, and strengthen trauma-informed practices within Latiné communities.

Paricipants will learn to:

• Identify barriers to mental health treatment among Latiné families 
• Apply culturally informed assessment and engagement strategies 
• Integrate core cultural constructs into trauma treatment components 
• Utilize evidence-based and evidence-supported practices tailored for Latiné families
• Recognize and address secondary traumatic stress and moral distress among providers
