We wrapped up the month by participating in the 2024 National Latino Behavioral Health Conference in San Antonio, Texas. The Center participated in the pre-conference symposium with a presentation based on the curriculum of youth gang prevention in school systems, created when we were the National Hispanic and Latino MHTTC team through our colleague and curriculum developer, Dr. Kristin Scardamalia. The conference also provided valuable networking opportunities, fostering connections with peers nationwide. At our booth, managed by Paola Díaz, Outreach, and Engagement Manager, and our esteemed colleague Dr. Diane Arms, we offered a range of behavioral health resources in Spanish and English, enhancing accessibility and support for the Hispanic and Latino communities. These experiences have strengthened our commitment to promoting linguistically and culturally appropriate behavioral health services.
