LACDMH Multicultural Mental Health Conference: Health Integration

The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) is pleased to sponsor and host the 2019 Multicultural Mental Health Conference. The theme of the conference is Health Integration Through a “WHO-LISTIC” Approach. The conference will feature models of integrated health for less-recognized yet well-established, underserved populations such as foster care youth, immigrants and asylum seekers, persons experiencing homelessness, older adults, persons who are incarcerated or recently released from prison, persons with disabilities, and persons who have substance use disorders, among others. The conference is based on the premise of health integration via a “Whole Person Holistic Care,” which is creatively presented as the acronym “WHO-LISTIC” to convey the following components of care:

The conference features keynote address by Dr. Jorge Partida Del Toro, Psy.D.; Bernardo Ng, MD, DFAPA; and Bryant T. Marks, Sr., Ph.D. and a total of nine workshops focusing on health integration for underserved communities. The conference will highlight the vital role of cultural and linguistic competence, health equity, prevention and early intervention, service accessibility, elimination of disparities, policy-making in working with underserved communities.
