"Latinos/Hispanics are a multiracial, multicultural group."
Hispanic/Latinx communities show similar vulnerability to mental illness as the general population, but they face disparities in both access to and quality of treatment.
🧡There is a perception in Latinx/Hispanic communities, especially among older people, that discussing problems with mental health can create embarrassment and shame for the family, resulting in fewer people seeking treatment.
💛Language barriers can make communicating with providers difficult, or even impossible, particularly when a person is seeking counseling for sensitive or uniquely personal issues.
💚Although Spanish is the official language in most of Latin America, some Latino/Latinas may speak other languages or dialects, such as Quechua, Nahuatl or Portuguese.
💙Hispanic/Latinx individuals may not seek treatment because they may not recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions or know where to find help.
💜Latinos are a growing academic, political and financial force in the US.
One-in-four newborns is Latino. 🌞
How to help the Latino/Hispanic Community:🙌🏽
👍🏼community partnerships
👍🏽culturally and linguistically appropriate treatment
👍🏾workforce development to sustain a culturally and linguistically competent mental health workforce
👍🏿community outreach and engagement

Trauma is defined as anything that overwhelms a person’s capacity to cope with it. The reason for such a seemingly vague definition is that trauma is more about the effect of an event (or events) on someone than it is whatever actually happened. For this reason, some people will develop trauma responses for things that others wouldn’t just based upon how the brain and body respond.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL NON-BINARY DAY!!
💛🤍💜🖤
Non-binary, also known as genderqueer, genderfluid, and “enby,” is a spectrum of gender identities that are not exclusively masculine nor feminine — identities that are outside of the gender binary of man and woman.
International Non-Binary People’s Day is observed annually on July 14th because it is the precise midpoint between International Women’s Day and International Men’s Day.

💚For this reason, some people will develop trauma responses for things that others wouldn’t, just based upon how the brain and body respond.
💛When a person feels attached and safe, the system that is most in play is the “rest and digest”, or parasympathetic nervous system. This allows the entire body to calm. The muscles become relaxed but not slack, breathing is slow and deep, and the heart rate is steady.
❤️We are born wired for connection, and connection makes us feel our best.
