Exposure to adversity during childhood, including discrimination and socioeconomic factors, heightens the risk for mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, yet resilience can emerge.
Many individuals who experience adversity do not develop mental illnesses, indicating the importance of understanding resilience-promoting factors to inform effective prevention and intervention strategies.
Presenters will explore the specific challenges faced by Mexican-origin individuals, such as discrimination and acculturation stress, alongside factors like familism and ethnic pride that may foster resilience.
The Office for Disparities Research and Workforce Diversity aims to facilitate research on mental health disparities, especially relating to women's and minority populations, through its Webinar Series.
