Más Información NAMI creó el Centro de Acción Multicultural en 2002 para ayudar a reformar el sistema y eliminar las disparidades en la atención de salud mental para comunidades diversas, asegurar el acceso a servicios y tratamiento para todos los estadounidenses culturalmente competentes, y sobre todo para ayudar y apoyar a las personas de diversos orígenes que se encuentran afectados por enfermedades mentales. ¿Quieres participar en el Centro de Acción Multicultural de NAMI?

ESTADISTICAS SOBRE LA SALUD MENTAL DE LA COMUNIDAD LATINA Sabia Usted… • Los índices de enfermedades mentales en la comunidad latina son bastante similares a los índices de la raza blanca. • Los latinos son considerados un grupo de alto riesgo para la depresión, la ansiedad, y el abuso de sustancias. • Deborah Duran estableció la existencia de correlación entre la aculturación y la depresión (Duran, 1995). • Las mujeres y los latinos tienen más tendencia a experimentar un episodio de depresión clínica. • El predominio de la depresión es más alto en las mujeres latinas (el 46%) que en los hombres latinos (19,6%). • El Common Wealth Fund Survey reveló que las muchachas latinas y las de descendencia asiática entre-vistadas exhibieron más síntomas depresivos que las muchachas de descendencia africana o de raza blanca. • En 1997, entre las estudiantes de escuela secundaria, el índice de suicidio entre las muchachas latinas (14,9%) fue 1.5 veces más alto que el de las muchachas de descendencia africana (9,0%) y del de las muchachas de raza blanca (10.3%). • De estas muchachas, casi una de cada tres estudiantes latinas (30,3%) había considerado seriamente el suicidio. • Los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), realizaron un estudio sobre el riesgo de la juventud, y encontraron que un 10,7 por ciento de jóvenes latinos han intentado suicidarse, comparados con un 7,3 por ciento de jóvenes de descendencia africana y un 6,3 por ciento de jóvenes blancos. • Hay índices más altos de enfermedades mentales entre residentes latinos que ya viven varios años o que han nacido en los Estados Unidos que entre inmigrantes latinos recientes. • El lugar de nacimiento tiene una correlación significativa con el riesgo subsiguiente de la mayoría de los desórdenes psiquiátricos. • Un estudio encontró, concluyentemente, que vivir en los Estados Unidos a largo plazo aumenta considerablemente la ocurrencia de desórdenes mentales, acompañados de un aumento dramático en los índices de abuso de sustancias. • Una investigación acerca del suicidio encontró que las personas nacidas en México, tienen un menor riesgo de tener ideas suicidas y depresión que aquellos nacidos en los Estados Unidos.

Bilang isang dating propesyonal na manlalaro ng football, mayroon akong access sa mga mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip. Ang NFL at ang NFL Players Association ay nakipagtulungan upang lumikha ng isang mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip para sa mga dati at kasalukuyang manlalaro upang humingi ng tulong sakaling kailanganin iyon. Ito ay isang libreng serbisyo sa amin at sa aming pamilya. Ginagamit ko ang mga mapagkukunang iyon kapag kinakailangan o kahit na para lamang mag-check in upang makipag-usap tungkol sa kung nasaan ako sa buhay at kung ano ang nangyayari. Noong nakaraang linggo, sinimulan ng NAMI North Texas ang isang programa sa pagsasanay upang magbigay ng ganap na kumpidensyal, walang gastos, walang stigma na network ng suporta sa kalusugan ng isip para sa pagpapatupad ng batas (at kalaunan ang lahat ng unang tumugon at kanilang mga pamilya). Sa pamamagitan ng disenyo, tinutugunan nito ang mga pinakakilalang dahilan kung bakit ang mga unang tumugon ay madalas na hindi humingi ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip; panlipunan at propesyonal na stigma, takot sa pagbaba ng posisyon o pagkawala ng trabaho, kawalan ng kakayahang makahanap ng tagapagbigay ng serbisyo na may kakayahang iugnay ang paulit-ulit na trauma na naghihikayat sa pangangailangan para sa isang propesyonal sa kalusugan ng isip. Ang programang ito ay magiging isang ganap na kumpidensyal na unang hakbang sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip, na ginagawang mas madali para sa mga unang tumugon na humingi ng tulong. Ang mga Peer Supporter ay magsisilbi ring tulay sa mga propesyonal na serbisyo sa kalusugan ng isip. Sila ay sasanayin na kilalanin kapag ang isang kapwa opisyal ay nangangailangan ng higit sa kanilang sinanay na mag-alok at tulungan silang kumonekta sa isang therapist, psychiatrist o iba pang propesyonal na serbisyo na may karanasan sa pakikipagtulungan sa mga unang tumugon. Palagi kong iginagalang ang tagapagpatupad ng batas, at oo, kahit na sa ilalim ng ilang mahihirap na kalagayan, dahil mayroon din silang mga pamilya at ang kanilang priyoridad ay magbigay ng serbisyo sa komunidad, at protektahan at pagsilbihan.

Education is the Key to Understanding NAMI Ending the Silence for Families is a free 1 -hour mental health education presentation for parents and caregivers to help them better understand the emotional and behavioral difficulties that may be early warning signs of mental health conditions in children and adolescents. This program works hand-in-hand with the presentations for students and educators to help foster conversations, improve understanding, and decrease the stigma that often surrounds mental health conditions. The program covers issues frequently faced by parents and other family caregivers to give them a better understanding of: The facts about mental health and youth The early warning signs of a mental health condition How to work with schools to support their child's education Resources available in the community The perspective of a teacher with concerns about a student “I love that this program exists for parents. Having this information presented so clearly is very helpful.”
