Cultural Diversity Considerations for the Intersection between Employment and Mental Health

 This presentation is about multicultural diverse considerations to include in the intersection between employment and mental health. Project information, learnings, resources, and experiences related to Hispanic/Latinx individuals (or their caregivers) having dual diagnosis of mental health and disabilities are shared. Adding multicultural diverse factors to the employment and mental health framework will challenge our approaches and understanding of an already complex topic.

 

Presenter: Eduardo Ortiz J.D., Ph.D., Researcher, Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities National Training Center
