Latino Mental Health Summit Brings Vital Resources Together

February 15, 2013

The Alverno College graduate program in Community Psychology is hosting a Latino Mental Health Summit on Saturday, February 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The summit, designed to lay the groundwork for the ultimate collaboration among mental health practitioners who serve Latino families in the Greater Milwaukee area, will be held in the Alverno College Conference Center located at 3400 S. 43rd Street.

Hector Colón, MS OT, Director of the Milwaukee County Department of Health and Human Services, will serve as the keynote speaker. “This summit is a great first step in creating a more supportive and more culturally diverse mental health care system in Milwaukee County,” Colón said. “I am honored to participate in such an important event.” The Department of Health and Human Services has worked alongside Alverno faculty and staff to plan this free, one-day event.

“This is a unique opportunity to bring together mental health providers, clergy, government officials and health care workers, each who have a deep interest in the mental health and wellbeing of their constituents, clients, patients and parishioners,” said Sandra Graham, dean of the Alverno College School of Arts and Sciences and the director of the college's Community Psychology graduate degree program. “Our aim is to foster connections between these providers and to create an environment where providers can share resources, vision and ideas with each other.”

The objectives of the summit are:

  • to identify mental health resources/support for Latino families
  • to foster connections among Latino mental health practitioners
  • to uncover cultural and linguistic competencies
  • to develop and share a comprehensive listing of mental health providers for Latinos
  • to foster a multidisciplinary network among clergy, mental health providers and government officials serving the Latino community

For more information on the summit or to register, contact Julie Borgealt at 414-382-6435.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete the online EdD?

The EdD takes a total of six semesters to complete, or approximately 24 months. Students who choose the K-12 Leadership concentration may take somewhat longer if they decide to pursue additional coursework to prepare for superintendent eligibility.

Students who enter on the ABD completion track or the EdS completion track may take slightly less time to complete their degree.

Can I work while I earn my EdD? Will I have to travel often?

The online EdD is designed to accommodate full-time work schedules. Coursework is almost completely online, with two residencies of one weekend each included in the program.

What can I do after graduation?

Graduates of the EdD program can pursue advanced teaching or leadership roles in a wide range of industries—not just education. While most graduates will opt to serve in K-12 schools or districts or higher education institutions after earning the EdD, other options include government agencies, education publishing or educational technology companies, corporate training and retention, and more.

Is financial aid available?

Financial aid is available to those who apply and qualify. Graduate students can qualify for federal loans. We suggest that all students begin the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) as soon as they apply. Alverno’s FAFSA code is 003832.

Alverno’s Financial Aid Office is happy to answer your questions. Call us at (800) 933-3401.
