80057870 - Addressing Mental Health Challenges through Community Engagement: A Multi-level Approach to Depression among Latino Immigrants in Baltimore

Monday, May 16, 2022, 8:00 AM - Thursday, May 19, 2022, 1:00 PM, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD

This activity has a pre-workshop scheduled for Monday, May 16, 2022  (1:00 - 6:00 p.m. EST) and the full conference will be held on Thursday, May 19, 2022 (8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. EST).

Depression is a multi-level problem and demands a multi-level solution. Many individuals face barriers to accessing mental health care including provider shortages, time constraints, insurance and stigma related to mental health issues. Immigrants face additional challenges to accessing care as a result of ineligibility for insurance and the dearth of linguistically and culturally concordant healthcare services. A coordinated effort on the part of healthcare providers and community members is critical in order to increase and enhance depression care for Baltimore’s immigrant Latino community, a vital and rapidly growing population. The conference presents an actionable framework for local health systems, community-based organizations and policymakers to use in addressing the depression among Latinx communities in and around Baltimore. There will be a half day pre-conference workshop on May 16, 2022: Participants will review visual displays of findings from the 5-hr workshop “Building a network of support for mental health: depression-informed services for uninsured Latinos” that precedes the Mental Health Conference. The goal of the workshop is two-fold: equip community-based organizations to provide equitable culturally and linguistically appropriate depression support for uninsured Latinos in Baltimore City; and build a safety network to address depression, anxiety and other mental health issues in the Latino community/among Latino adults. The workshop will be delivered in-person, combining group discussions, lecture and role-plays to build an understanding about cultural appropriateness and tools to guide clients to the resources that best meet their needs.
