This course will explore practical ways of distributing mental health resources to diverse populations which are typically underserved and often marginalized.
These populations of interest include youth, the LGBTQ and Trans community, veterans, the homeless, victims of violence and of domestic and sexual abuse, recent and culturally isolated immigrants, individuals and families with both limited resources and access to mental health services, cultural groups within which utilization of mental health services is highly stigmatized, Native Americans and other people of color with limited access to services, non-English speakers, prison and jail populations, rural residents, and other populations and individuals who are "otherized" and may not feel safe or comfortable accessing mental health services through traditional channels.
Cutting across these groups is a trending, equalizing phenomenon of digital access by these populations; this self-empowered access will be investigated with respect to utilization of social media platforms and other means of online access for locating and connecting with providers, resources, and specialized services offering mental, emotional and relational support
This workshop is designed to help you:
1) Understand the pervasiveness and influence that social media and the internet have on tweens’ and teens’ emotional, psychological, and social development.
2) Be equipped and knowledgeable in utilizing video and social media for delivering psycho-educational resources in this preferred, online medium, for the purpose of promoting emotional, psychological and relational wellness to tweens and teens, as well as to families and other diverse groups that increasingly turn to the internet for meaningful contact, information, and entertainment.
3) Identify the ethics relating to clinical use of digital materials, and to online communication and therapeutic interaction with client populations.
