ForwardThe Rosenberry Conference: Working with Immigrant Youth and Families: Culture, Community, and Context
Course Overview
The Rosenberry Conference is an annual event held in honor of Walter S. Rosenberry III, a former board member and benefactor of Children’s Hospital Colorado. Mr. Rosenberry’s support of Children’s Hospital Colorado and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences provides us with an opportunity to recognize and honor those individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of psychology and behavioral sciences.
Immigrant youth and families may present with unique service needs and unique vulnerabilities that require more cultural and contextual-specific strategies. Integrating this understanding of the community’s unique needs into care, in the context of social and structural determinants of health, facilitates service delivery that can improve their behavioral health outcomes. Yet, immigrant youth and families may face various barriers to accessing and engaging in needed healthcare.
Working with Immigrant Youth and Families: Culture, Community, and Context seeks to empower behavioral health organizations and providers to promote behavioral health equity through skills to address social and structural determinants of health. Simultaneously, it will equip behavioral health professionals with skills and strategies to enhance their clinical practice, community collaboration, and advocacy, fostering a community-centered approach to improve health outcomes. This multi-layered approach supports community resilience and aligns with a broader vision for a more equitable behavioral health care system for the immigrant community.
Target Audience
This conference will be of interest to Physicians, Psychologists, Advanced Practice Providers, Social Workers, Counselors, Family Navigators, School Behavioral Health Providers, Nurses, and School Administrators.
