Examining Adverse Childhood Experiences and Suicide Attempts Among Latines in Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Saturday, October 26, 2024
3:30 PM – 4:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 2B
This session will examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and suicide attempts among Latines entering treatment for substance use disorder. By exploring the relationship between environmental justice and Latine communities, we aim to develop pathways to holistic healing and resilience while taking into account cultural and environmental influences.

Learning Objectives:

  1. A better understanding of the complex factors that affect the mental health outcomes of Latine populations in SUD treatment. They will gain insights into applying Environmental Justice principles to develop more effective and culturally sensitive interventions.
  2. Understand and evaluate the importance of culturally competent treatment interventions among Latines, including the significance of incorporating cultural values, beliefs, and practices into therapeutic approaches to enhance engagement.
  3. Describe the interplay between ACEs and suicide attempts among Latine individuals entering treatment for substance use disorder while examining the intricate interplay of social determinants of health factors that exacerbate these issues.
