American Mental Health Association Fall Summit - Nov. 19-20
American Mental Health
Association Fall Summit - Nov. 19-20
https://www.amhca.org/fallsummit
All across our nation,
thousands of Americans have taken to the streets in all 50 states to protest
the killing of George Floyd by a police officer. It was a collective cry of
anguish and a demand for change to what has become commonplace – the killing of
unarmed black people at the hands of law enforcement.
Americans of color, and all of those whose lives have been marginalized by
those in power, experience life differently from those whose lives have not
been devalued. They experience overt racism and bigotry far too often. And due
to these factors they shoulder a mental health burden that is deeper than what
others face.
The 2001 landmark Surgeon General’s report, Mental Health: Culture, Race, and
Ethnicity, underscored significant disparities in initiation of and engagement
in mental health care among persons from racial-ethnic groups. Now, almost 20
years later, these disparities persist, with higher rates of morbidity from
decreased engagement in high-quality care, including use of evidence-based medications
and mental health therapies.
Discrimination in its multiple forms (e.g., discrimination based on color or
race), is an important social determinant of mental health.Chronic stress leads
to a cascade of behavioral and physiological responses that have detrimental
effects on mental health and brain health. Black Americans and people of color
are chronically exposed to race-related stress in the form of subtle and overt
forms of racial discrimination,
The counseling profession has moved to become more culturally competent to meet
the needs of varying populations. However, this perspective is limited in
tackling full issues related to power, privilege, and race within treatment.
The AMHCA Summit on “integrating Cultural Competency Skills into Your Practice”
will provide several presentations on better understanding the origins and
dynamics of cultural diversity, and how to address several problems through
cultural humility, cultural opportunities, and cultural comfort into your daily
practice. You will learn hands-on strategies for increasing multi-cultural
competencies in your work with clients and improving your overall counseling
effectiveness. Attendees can earn up to 10.0
CEs total (or 5.0 per day).

Steans Center Research Fellowship Opportunity
The Steans Center for Community- based Service Learning in partnership with the Center for Black Diaspora seeks to support a Racial Equity Graduate Research Fellowship that aims to support African American DePaul graduate students in conducting focused, community-based research on efforts to promote racial equity in Chicago.
The Research Fellowship is for an African American graduate
student and talented racial justice advocate interested in research focused on
one or more of the following areas in partnership with a community
organization: solutions to police violence targeting Black Lives, policies that
counter systemic racism, and efforts to positively transform institutions that
condone white supremacy. The Fellow is expected to become a
knowledge expert who can contribute to research and practice to advance social
change strategies and anti-racism campaigns locally. The fellowship is
competitive and applicants should devote a sincere effort to their application.

DEI practices, and preparation for further challenges.

- Portfolios for Skill
Development
Curricular and co-curricular experiences directly lead to career readiness. Students struggle to make the connection and frequently see coursework as separate from professional experience. Through building pathways into their long-running portfolio program, Columbia College Chicago is creating direct connections for students to use reflection as part of the skills identification process. Pathways provide a roadmap to a more inclusive process of career readiness.
Dirk Matthews, Columbia College Chicago
