"In My Mind: LGBTQ+ Peoples Of Color Mental Health Conference, Oct 11 & 12, 2024 -
"Moving to Thriving and Belonging"
Migrant Communities' Healing Journeys
This year's "In My Mind: LGBTQ Peoples of Color Mental Health Conference - "Moving To Thriving and Belonging" with the theme, Migrant Communities’ Healing Journeys, will be held on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12 at The New School, NYC. The planning team’s collective efforts for this one-and-a-half-day conference will focus on LGBTQIA+ Black and People of Color migrants’ experiences and reasons for leaving their countries of origin – for some often facing trauma, mental health challenges and even violence, but somehow finding hope, strength, support, and community throughout their journey. The collective strengths and wisdom from clinicians, consumers, academics, and advocates will examine the many aspects of overcoming and creating.
The Conference’s planning team welcomes you and recognizes Same-Gender Loving (SGL) and Two-Spirit (2S) community members who are Indigenous, Black and peoples of color. The Program is divided into two distinct areas: Speakers (invited Speakers will address aspects of the conference Theme and Tracks) and Presentations (Workshops, Panel Discussions, and Stand-Alone Presentations conforming to the Conference Tracks). Abstract submitters are encouraged to complete the requirements for Continuing Education Units/Credits (CEUs) to ensure that LCSW and LMSW attendees to their presentations receive credit toward their licenses.
Submissions are accepted for multiple formats.
