Event Description
This course will include informati
on on key terminology related to equity, drivers of health outcomes for BIP
OC and immigrant communities, research and inclusion, BIPOC history and soc
ial determinants of health, BIPOC mental health research, root causes of ne
ed, and a call to action lab. Recommended training for health practitioners
, and recommended BIPOC mental health supplementary research and texts will
also be provided.
Racial
ly and ethnically diverse patients routinely have poorer health outcomes as
compared to their White Non-Hispanic counterparts. These outcomes have his
torically been accounted for by patient factors or behavior (ie lack of follow up). Research has found factors su
ch as Immigration, acculturation, police violence, and racialized trauma ar
e factors in BIPOC mental health. This course will review literature on tho
se factors, in order to equip OT practitioners and students in successful t
reatment planning in BIPOC mental health. Attendees will participate in a l
ecture and interactive call to actions/lab.
