May 19 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm HST
AAPA’s Division of Fillipinx Americans (DoFA) presents:
PAGTUKLAS: Filipinx American Psychology Research Seminar
Falling behind and forgotten: The impact of acculturation and spirituality on the mental health help-seeking behavior of Filipinos in the USA
Do you or your family believe in the kapre or engkanto? What about the practice of arbularyo or kulam? What are these concepts from the Filipino culture, and are they important for mental health help-seeking in Filipino Americans? Hear about recent empirical research involving Indigenous Filipino spiritual beliefs and practices and the impact of this work on the presenter’s journey of reconnecting to her Filipino roots. Join us for an opportunity to connect with each other and have a community conversation about spirituality, healing, and honoring our ancestors. Please familiarize yourself with their research paper for a more more enriching discussion: Falling behind and forgotten: The impact of acculturation and spirituality on the mental health help-seeking behavior of Filipinos in the USA.
