DESCRIPTION:Evidence-based interventions constitute a critical advancement
  in the mental health field. However\, there is a high risk of engaging in
  oppressive practices\, particularly if these interventions – and associ
 ated evaluation methods – are not co-designed nor co-implemented in clos
 e collaboration with community leaders and allies. Equally critical is to 
 ensure that adapted interventions and research tools are contextually and 
 culturally responsive to focus populations. In this presentation\, Profess
 or Parra-Cardona will describe 20+ years of clinical and prevention work f
 ocused on the cultural adaptation of evidence-based parenting intervention
 s for Latinx populations in the US and Latin America. He will describe how
  the foundation of this work has been grounded in strong community allianc
 es and co-leadership. In addition\, he will demonstrate the need to cultur
 ally adapt interventions and research tools originally developed with majo
 rity populations\, in an effort to prevent ethnocentric and imperialistic 
 practices in mental health research and practice. He will also reflect on 
 the critical importance of\n\nguiding clinical and prevention intervention
 s according to solid theories of clinical change\, as well as social justi
 ce values and principles. Finally\, he will invite the audience to reflect
  about the ways in which clinical and prevention intervention implemented 
 in the midst of intense contextual adversity\, constitute a powerful oppor
 tunity for healing\, not only for the beneficiaries of interventions\, but
  also for providers committed to clinical and community-based practice.\n\
