ESTADISTICAS SOBRE LA SALUD MENTAL DE LA COMUNIDAD LATINA Sabia Usted… • Los índices de enfermedades mentales en la comunidad latina son bastante similares a los índices de la raza blanca. • Los latinos son considerados un grupo de alto riesgo para la depresión, la ansiedad, y el abuso de sustancias. • Deborah Duran estableció la existencia de correlación entre la aculturación y la depresión (Duran, 1995). • Las mujeres y los latinos tienen más tendencia a experimentar un episodio de depresión clínica. • El predominio de la depresión es más alto en las mujeres latinas (el 46%) que en los hombres latinos (19,6%). • El Common Wealth Fund Survey reveló que las muchachas latinas y las de descendencia asiática entre-vistadas exhibieron más síntomas depresivos que las muchachas de descendencia africana o de raza blanca. • En 1997, entre las estudiantes de escuela secundaria, el índice de suicidio entre las muchachas latinas (14,9%) fue 1.5 veces más alto que el de las muchachas de descendencia africana (9,0%) y del de las muchachas de raza blanca (10.3%). • De estas muchachas, casi una de cada tres estudiantes latinas (30,3%) había considerado seriamente el suicidio. • Los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), realizaron un estudio sobre el riesgo de la juventud, y encontraron que un 10,7 por ciento de jóvenes latinos han intentado suicidarse, comparados con un 7,3 por ciento de jóvenes de descendencia africana y un 6,3 por ciento de jóvenes blancos. • Hay índices más altos de enfermedades mentales entre residentes latinos que ya viven varios años o que han nacido en los Estados Unidos que entre inmigrantes latinos recientes. • El lugar de nacimiento tiene una correlación significativa con el riesgo subsiguiente de la mayoría de los desórdenes psiquiátricos. • Un estudio encontró, concluyentemente, que vivir en los Estados Unidos a largo plazo aumenta considerablemente la ocurrencia de desórdenes mentales, acompañados de un aumento dramático en los índices de abuso de sustancias. • Una investigación acerca del suicidio encontró que las personas nacidas en México, tienen un menor riesgo de tener ideas suicidas y depresión que aquellos nacidos en los Estados Unidos.

Bilang isang dating propesyonal na manlalaro ng football, mayroon akong access sa mga mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip. Ang NFL at ang NFL Players Association ay nakipagtulungan upang lumikha ng isang mapagkukunan ng kalusugan ng isip para sa mga dati at kasalukuyang manlalaro upang humingi ng tulong sakaling kailanganin iyon. Ito ay isang libreng serbisyo sa amin at sa aming pamilya. Ginagamit ko ang mga mapagkukunang iyon kapag kinakailangan o kahit na para lamang mag-check in upang makipag-usap tungkol sa kung nasaan ako sa buhay at kung ano ang nangyayari. Noong nakaraang linggo, sinimulan ng NAMI North Texas ang isang programa sa pagsasanay upang magbigay ng ganap na kumpidensyal, walang gastos, walang stigma na network ng suporta sa kalusugan ng isip para sa pagpapatupad ng batas (at kalaunan ang lahat ng unang tumugon at kanilang mga pamilya). Sa pamamagitan ng disenyo, tinutugunan nito ang mga pinakakilalang dahilan kung bakit ang mga unang tumugon ay madalas na hindi humingi ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip; panlipunan at propesyonal na stigma, takot sa pagbaba ng posisyon o pagkawala ng trabaho, kawalan ng kakayahang makahanap ng tagapagbigay ng serbisyo na may kakayahang iugnay ang paulit-ulit na trauma na naghihikayat sa pangangailangan para sa isang propesyonal sa kalusugan ng isip. Ang programang ito ay magiging isang ganap na kumpidensyal na unang hakbang sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan ng isip, na ginagawang mas madali para sa mga unang tumugon na humingi ng tulong. Ang mga Peer Supporter ay magsisilbi ring tulay sa mga propesyonal na serbisyo sa kalusugan ng isip. Sila ay sasanayin na kilalanin kapag ang isang kapwa opisyal ay nangangailangan ng higit sa kanilang sinanay na mag-alok at tulungan silang kumonekta sa isang therapist, psychiatrist o iba pang propesyonal na serbisyo na may karanasan sa pakikipagtulungan sa mga unang tumugon. Palagi kong iginagalang ang tagapagpatupad ng batas, at oo, kahit na sa ilalim ng ilang mahihirap na kalagayan, dahil mayroon din silang mga pamilya at ang kanilang priyoridad ay magbigay ng serbisyo sa komunidad, at protektahan at pagsilbihan.

Family Members & Caregivers Family-to-Family NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-week educational program for family members of adults living with a mental health condition: parents, siblings, spouses, adult children, partners, and significant others. This course intends to offer insight and support into your loved one's condition while helping you understand how to better take care of yourself. Family-to-Family provides information on diagnoses, their biological aspects, and possibilities for living in recovery and details various treatment strategies available. While you learn how to best advocate for, communicate with, and relate to your loved one, you will also be surrounded by support from other individuals on the same journey. You will also learn how to cope with worry, stress, and emotional overload throughout the course through confidential, empathetic conversations. Family-to-Family is taught by trained facilitators who know what it is like to have a loved one with a mental health condition. Everyone is a valued participant, and we welcome you to join and share. Class Schedule Family Support Group NAMI Family Support Group is a free, 90-minute monthly support group for family members, caregivers, and loved ones of individuals with a mental health condition. Facilitated by peers who have experience caring for loved ones living with a mental health condition, these trained individuals understand your struggles and offer compassionate support. Family Support Groups are structured in a casual, relaxed environment without an educational format, where everything you share is kept completely confidential. Members gain hope, insight, support, and community through conversations with peers who are in a similar position. You will have the opportunity to grow from other’s experiences as you learn from and support one another. You never have to share more than you want to, and there is no need to register; just come when you need someone to talk to. Family Support Groups are open to all adults whose loved ones are living with a mental health condition, regardless of diagnosis. We welcome drop-ins and encourage you to share your thoughts at any time. Group Schedule Family & Friends Seminar NAMI Family & Friends is a free, 4-hour seminar that informs and supports family members, partners, friends and significant others who have loved ones with a mental health condition. Participants learn about diagnoses, treatment, recovery, communication strategies, crisis preparation and NAMI resources. Seminar leaders are also family members and know what it is like to have a loved one with a mental health condition. Class Schedule "This was a life changing class for me. I am so grateful for the openness, authenticity, and care the Miller's provided us. Even when the topics clearly got emotionally tough for our group and we weren't able to share as much to the discussion topic, the Miller's were very encouraging and comforting, sometimes offering their own personal experiences to help bridge any gaps. It was uplifting for me to know that I am not alone and others can relate. The Miller's teaching this class was such a blessing."

¿Qué es la salud mental? ¿Qué es la salud mental? La enfermedad mental es una enfermedad que altera el pensamiento, sentimiento, humor, capacidad para relacionarse con los demás y el funcionamiento diario de las personas afectadas. Al igual que la diabetes es un trastorno del páncreas, las enfermedades mentales son condiciones médicas que a menudo resultan en una disminución de la capacidad para afrontar las demandas ordinarias de la vida. Enfermedades mentales graves incluyen la depresión mayor, la esquizofrenia, el trastorno bipolar, el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC), trastorno de pánico, trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y el trastorno límite de la personalidad. La buena noticia sobre la enfermedad mental es que la recuperación es posible. Las enfermedades mentales pueden afectar a personas de cualquier edad, raza, religión o ingreso. Las enfermedades mentales no son el resultado de una debilidad personal, la falta de carácter, o de mala educación. Las enfermedades mentales son tratables. La mayoría de las personas diagnosticadas con una enfermedad mental grave pueden experimentar un alivio de sus síntomas participando activamente en un plan de tratamiento individual. NAMI North Texas es una organización de salud mental sin fines de lucro que se esfuerza por mantener la diversidad. Entendemos que las enfermedades mentales pueden afectar a cualquier persona en cualquier momento y queremos estar ahi cuando surge la necesidad de ayuda.
