SPANISH 101 FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS (Part 1)

Thursday, July 28, 2022
3:00-5:00PM PST / 5:00-7:00PM CST / 6:00PM-8:00PM EST

Presented by Dr. Nadia Rojas Jones, EdD, LMFT

This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 2.0 CEs for Psychologists, 2.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers, and 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSW, and LMFTs.

Workshop Description:

According to Deborah Bailey and Bruce Hogan (2019), while 18% of Americans identify as Hispanic, less than 6% of Psychologists in the U.S. can provide services in Spanish. Even more concerning, is that less than 50% of Psychologists interview in this survey felt extremely knowledgably in working with Hispanic individuals (Bailey and Hogan, 2019). This proposed webinar series seeks to engage TCSPP students, faculty, and community members in creating a more inclusive environment in mental health settings by introducing non-Spanish speakers and Spanish speaking mental health professionals to the basic words and phrases needed to work with Bi-Lingual (Spanish/English) clients in a culturally competent manner.

Due to the increasing need of the Spanish speaking population in need of therapy services with an understanding of the language and cultural characteristics of the Latin community, these four, one-hour workshops will train mental health clinicians and current students to speak properly with clinical lingo to the population.

Learning Objectives:

After attending this intermediate-level workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Define and explain in Spanish Latin some of the cultural norms and roles in the community.
  2. Define cultural humility and how it is shown in the welfare system when working with children.
  3. List at least 2 components of cultural appropriateness when working with the Latino/Hispanic community in Spanish.
  4. Define ACES and list at least 3 examples.
  5. Describe crisis assessment and intervention in Spanish.
  6. Describe how to do a safety plan in Spanish for suicidality and domestic violence.
  7. Identify at least 3 resources in the community in Spanish.
  8. Describe at least one concept related to PTSD, Stress, Anxiety and Depression in Spanish.

Program Standards and Goals:

This program meets APA’s continuing education Standard 1.3: Program content focuses on topics related to psychological practice, education, or research other than application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that are supported by contemporary scholarship grounded in established research procedures.

This program meets APA’s continuing education Goal 3: Program will allow psychologists to maintain, develop, and increase competencies in order to improve services to the public and enhance contributions to the profession.
