This is part 2 of the Northwest ATTC's 3-part summer webinar series: Innovative and Successful Approaches to Staff Recruitment and Retention. Find information on all 3 parts here.
The current behavioral health workforce emergency is nothing new in the culturally and linguistically specific communities in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Traditional recruitment strategies by dominant culture organizations often fail due to a variety of systemic and cultural barriers that are largely invisible to the established behavioral health systems. Executive Director Fernando Peña with NW Instituto Latino operates a culturally specific SUD Recovery Community Organization that despite the ongoing behavioral health workforce emergency is fully staffed with culturally and linguistically specific staff and routinely has multiple applicants for each open position as one becomes available. In this session, Fernando shared his understanding of the systemic barriers that impact Latinx communities when it comes to the behavioral health workforce as well as some strategies he has used to recruit, retain and support their respective teams.

This was Part 1 of a 3-Session Virtual Learning Community.
This series on Understanding, Going Through, and Managing Loss, Grief, and Bereavement takes a critical look at
how Latino men manage and go through loss, grief, and bereavement during this Covid-19 pandemic.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the overall impact of loss and differentiate between grief and bereavement
Describe the pandemic in regard to the type of deaths (unattended, for example), social changes, the sheer volume, and displacement (new roles imposed on people due to loss)
Understand the specific ways that Latino men are affected by death and loss in the context of cultural expectations that they must be strong and evaluate their own (or loved ones) behavior in this regard
Having a different perspective on the “the fear of death”
Integrate the possibility that Latino men can apply lessons from understanding their own grief journeys in order to play a proactive role (and find heroic meaning) by becoming grief leaders for their families, loved ones, friends, and society at large.
Draw from the information given, options to identifying their personal losses and identify options on how to manage their experience.

National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) increases awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders and encourages individuals in need of treatment and recovery services to seek help. Recovery Month celebrates individuals living lives in recovery and recognizes the dedicated workers who provide the prevention, treatment, and recovery support services that help make recovery possible.
Recovery is for everyone because it benefits everyone. In recovery, we build new connections to ourselves, our families, and our communities. The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community” reminds people in recovery and those who support them, that recovery belongs to all of us. We are all called to end gatekeeping and welcome everyone to recovery by lowering barriers to recovery support, creating inclusive spaces and programs, and broadening our understanding of what recovery means for people with different experiences.
