2012 International/National Conference Engaging The Latino Community in Behavioral Health and Developmental Services Wednesday, March 21, 2012 Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon Sponsored by Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services Family Preservation Services, Cumberland Mountain Community Services and the Southwest Virginia Mental Health Institute. REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012 Overview There has been a marked growth of the Latino population in Appalachia over the last twenty years. The majority of the Latino immigrants are Mexican, but there are also notable numbers of Central and South Americans. Many of them are migrants who are involved in agricultural migrant labor streams. However, many have settled out. The resettled Latinos continue to be involved with agriculture, but many have also found jobs in construction and factory work. Southwest Virginia is no exception to this trend. Census figures from 2010 show that communities like Galax find that up to 14% of their population has Hispanic or Latino origins and almost 7% of that population speaks a language other than English in the home. This training will explore some of the cultural beliefs and values commonly found among Latinos in this area as well as introduce research and program models that have been proven effective in engaging and working with this population.
