Poster Session III - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Cultural Diversity

Abstract: We plan to conduct interviews with AMENA parents to understand their families’ mental health needs, stigmas, and attitudes towards help-seeking. Guided by these perspectives, will develop a cultural adaptation of Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) for AMENA parents. We will then conduct an RCT to examine the program’s effectiveness.
