Mental health professionals working with the Latine community may find themselves engaging with more than just the individual in the room, often including a clients’ social systems into treatment. However, providers typically operate within a health-care framework that focuses on treating individuals, or their symptoms, in isolation. El Futuro’s 2024 Conference, Nunca Caminamos Solos: Supporting Latine Families Across the Lifespan, centers on exploring the nuanced ways in which families and social contexts can connect to the mental health and well-being of our Latine clients.
Using a developmental approach, national speakers invited to participate in this 2-day virtual conference held from September 26 to 27 and will guide participants through life’s developmental stages, discussing the interplay of family systems and social context within each, and their role in mental health treatment. Each 90-minute session will offer practical tools and evidence-based approaches to support family systems integration to client care, all with the goal of moving us towards El Futuro’s mission: Nurturing stronger familias to live out their dreams.
