ZONA ABIERTA: Mental Health Among Communities of Color
Presented by the UIC Latino Cultural Center
Join us as UIC postdoctoral scholars share their experiences and respective research with the UIC community. Through an intersectional lens, these scholars reveal the complexity and specificity of their contemporary research and how the lives of those in the margins are impacted.
Dr. Abhery Das, from the Division of Health Policy & Administration in the School of Public Health, will present on the inequities in social systems and mental health among communities of color. She will discuss two studies which focus on how racialized economic segregation impacts the suicide among Black youth and how hate crimes correspond with greater psychiatric emergencies among Asian Americans.
