A Critical Pedagogy and Participatory Learning Framework: Contextualizing Among Refugee Mental Health Education

Saturday, October 26, 2024
12:30 PM – 1:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2208
A critical pedagogy and participatory learning framework were used to contextualize Hmong refugee mental health education within historical/cultural contexts. Hmong’s history of war-torn, ethnic persecution, and genocide caused mental health issues. This presentation focuses on a pedagogical framework for social work students to integrate Hmong cultural/practices into mental health courses.

Learning Objectives:

  1. By the end of the presentation, participants will grasp the integration of cultural practices and language in teaching Hmong mental health.
  2. By the end of the presentation, participants will critically assess contextual factors such as socio-political and historical influences on mental health access and treatment among Hmong refugees in the United States.
  3. By the end of the presentation, participants will gain insights into the application of a critical and participatory learning framework in teaching mental health to refugee populations.
