| Holistic Culturally Competent Assessment and Intervention with Immigrants and Refugees Experiencing Trauma |
Holistic Culturally Competent Assessment and Intervention with Immigrants and Refugees Experiencing Trauma This workshop proposes a holistic framework that integrates a western and eastern spirituality-based, culturally competent approach with current social work knowledge of trauma interventions. Participants will develop skill in negotiating culturally competent, post-colonial, systems-based assessments and interventions that take into account the immigrant’s worldview, his understanding of his experiences and symptoms, indigenous methods of healing, the family and community context, and his help-seeking behavior during settlement in order to mobilize his/her capacity for healing and change.

| Free Webinar Recording: Courageous Leadership for Women November 7-9, 2011 |
Though long overdue, women are increasingly moving into leadership roles. Consequently, they have more opportunities to shape the workplace in a meaningful way. Making the most of these opportunities takes persistence, persuasiveness, and leadership. It also takes courage. This previously recorded webinar will highlight courage as the most important leadership virtue, and provide strategies that women can apply in workplace settings to broaden their leadership influence.

| 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.
