Upon completion of this webinar, the participant will be able to accomplish the following from the specific organizational perspective:
1. Describe how mental health affects various ethnic groups;
2. Describe how mental health affects LGBTQIA and youth communities;
3. Discuss current programs that are currently addressing mental health in ethnically diverse, LGBTQIA, and youth communities; and
4. Describe evaluating tool(s) for programs that address mental health in LGBTQIA and youth communities.
The focus of the webinar will be the Community Engagement and Cultural Diversity Program at the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and the services it provides to bring cultural and linguistic assistance to the Hispanic/Latino community in Florida.
