New Center for Latino Mental Health at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Addresses Growing Need for Psychology in the Service of Latino Communities
CHICAGO, Sep 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Latinos represent the nation's largest and fastest growing ethnic group, yet there remains a striking lack of knowledge regarding the unique mental health needs facing the Latino population--and a troubling shortage of culturally competent mental health professionals prepared to meet those needs. To help address this issue, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology has started a new Center for Latino Mental Health. Formally introduced today at the school's annual Cultural Impact Conference, the center will work to bolster understanding of and access to culturally competent mental health services through scholarly research, community service, and education.
