PSYC FPX 4100 SDSU Cultural Influences in Central and South America Region Discussion
Description
This assessment gives you the opportunity to step into the role of a professional reaching out to a community with an underserved population.
SCENARIO
Imagine that you work at a mental health clinic in a community with a historically underserved population. To help encourage use of mental health services by individuals in your community, your employer has asked you to speak at a local meeting. You are aware that some community members view psychology and mental health services as purely Western concepts and are hesitant to seek out services.
Mistrust of Westernized healthcare may serve as a barrier to seeking healthcare. There are many factors that may contribute to this mistrust, including fear of Western medicine, structural barriers, lack of cultural competence in some healthcare settings, and religious practices (Hassan et al., 2021; Oakley et al., 2019).
