From Newton to San Juan: Lucero Latino Mental Health Program Scholars Shine on a National Stage
In mid-October, when the annual conference of the National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA) commenced in San Juan, Puerto Rico, William James College was well represented. In total, eleven current students and one recent graduate made the 1,600-mile trip due south to present slivers of their scholarly work via five poster presentations accepted from a pool of juried submissions. Following the group’s return to New England, a pair of conference participants shone a spotlight on the unique mental health needs of the Latino community and how William James College is working to meet them.
