Salud mental en comunidad: a dialogue with Latin American Women Science Researchers

CLACS is delighted to partner with UW-Milwaukee’s mhSEVA lab (Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences) for a 3-talk Global Mental Health Talk Series this fall in honor of Latine Heritage Month.

This three-part Global Mental Health Talk Series brings to spotlight innovative approaches to community mental health in Latin America, led by women researchers and professionals committed to social transformation. This colloquium series will explore mental health interventions with displaced and refugee populations, collective care models, and the integration of mental health into community and primary care. Presentations will emphasize participatory, gender-responsive strategies grounded in lived experience, action research, and collaboration.

For the final event in this series we are joined by Carol Tremont, a Venezuelan psychologist and educator. Since fleeing Venezuela in 2017, Carol has lived in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. She served as the MHPSS Coordinator at the Asociación Protección Población Vulnerable (APPV), where she designed and facilitated support groups for refugee, migrant, and local women. In addition, Carol has been a fearless advocate for Venezuelan female sex workers living in Peru, providing critical psychosocial care and legal referrals.

This talk will be in English and/or with English interpretation, with refreshments provided. Cosponsored by the Nagy lab at UW-Milwaukee (Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences).
