NAMI NJ Multicultural Conversations Webinar Series
NAMI NJ is committed to serving New Jersey’s diverse communities and is hosting a webinar series this year – NAMI NJ Multicultural Conversations. Our four multicultural programs (serving African American, Hispanic/Latinx, South Asian and Chinese American communities) will help facilitate meaningful, culturally-sensitive dialogues on various mental wellness topics. This series is proudly sponsored by Amerigroup. Let’s come together and talk about mental health and culture!
Upcoming Webinar in Spanish:
De la Oscuridad a la Esperanza: Concientizacion de Prevencion de Suicidio en Comunidades Hispanas y Latinx
From Darkness to Hope: Suicide Prevention Awareness in Hispanic and Latinx Communities
November 15, 2021 at 2 p.m. ET
Únase a nosotros este mes para hablar de la concientización y prevención del suicidio en las comunidades Hispanas y Latinx. Contaremos con la presencia de panelistas y sobrevivientes ante el suicidio. Ellos discutirán y compartirán pautas y señales de advertencia, formas y tácticas de como debemos dirigirnos a nuestros seres queridos sobre el tema del suicidio, la salud mental y emocional y como acudir a la ayuda adecuada. Los panelistas compartirán cómo la cultura, el idioma y las creencias religiosas en sus comunidades han impactado su recuperación de la salud mental. Compartirán lo que les han ayudado y cómo han enfrentado y continúan superando los intentos anteriores. También hablarán sobre cómo intentan terminar con el estigma de la salud mental en la comunidad Hispana y Latinx; cómo están tratando de terminar con los ciclos tóxicos en los que nacieron. Nuestro objetivo con este seminario es llegar a las personas a través de nuestro idioma natal y cultura, y recordarles que no están solos y que la recuperación de la salud mental si es posible.
Join us this month as we raise awareness on suicide in Hispanic and Latinx communities. We will have a panel discussion with survivors on warning signs, how we can talk about suicide to our loved ones, mental health, and seeking proper help. They will share how culture, language, and religious beliefs in their communities have impacted their journey. They will discuss what has helped them, and how they have coped and continued to prosper post attempts. They will also talk about how they are trying to end the stigma of mental health in the Hispanic and Latinx community and how they are trying to end toxic cycles they were born into. With this webinar, we hope to reach people in their native language and cultures and remind them that they are not alone and that mental health recovery is possible.
