Focus Areas: Immigrant Mental Health
Wicked Problem Description:
We will target the “Wicked Problem” of unaddressed mental health and social needs in limited English proficiency (LEP) immigrant Latina mothers of young children.
Project Strategies:
We propose to adapt, pilot, and plan for the sustained delivery of an evidence-based, group mental health support program enriched with assistance addressing unmet social needs for LEP immigrant Latina mothers in the setting of state-funded “Early Learning Hubs” (Judy Centers) within Baltimore City Public Schools. The proposed intervention will be co-delivered by a clinician and a community health worker (CHW).
