2021 Latino Health Equity Conference
Familias en Acción's
12th annual Conference:
Me Cuido, Te Cuido
June 24 & 25, 2021
About the Conference: “Me cuido, te cuido” prioritizes one's health, the health of one's partners, and that of the community. This perspective cultivates and promotes values of mutual respect, acceptance, equality and empathy.
This year's virtual conference aims to broaden our knowledge and awareness on sexual health, sexuality, and HIV by leveraging the experiences of the Latino community. We will highlight community-driven initiatives that prevent new HIV infections, support Latinos living with HIV, and work towards ending cultural stigmas that impact Latino health.

Mesoamerican Languages in Oregon: One-Day Free Conference
Learn Best Practices in Language Justice and Language Services
June 16, 9am - 4pm
Get Press Release and Flyer with Conference Schedule in English and Spanish Here
Register for this Free Event Here
The pandemic has highlighted the need to deliver information in linguistically appropriate methods to deliver services critical for the wellbeing of individuals, particularly for Indigenous farmworkers and their families facing the already disproportionate pandemic impact. The Oregon COVID-19 Farmworker Study found that farmworkers speak over 26 distinct Indigenous Mesoamerican languages from Guatemala and Mexico in their sample alone. State-sponsored programs often promoted in Spanish are not always sufficiently accessible to Indigenous farmworkers.
This one-day free online event is designed for Oregon-based government agencies and non-governmental organizations to learn best practices in language justice and language services. Participants will hear from community members and advocates that responded during the pandemic through hands-on workshop opportunities built to improve language accessibility practices in Oregon.
The event will be held mostly in Spanish with professional interpretation into English and one Mesoamerican language. Please email mar36@pdx.edu for accommodation requests.
Centering Equity in State Government
Join us for a conversation with Shannon Singleton, Director of Equity and Racial Justice with Governor Brown's Office.
In her role, Shannon is the co-facilitator of the Governor’s Racial Justice Council (RJC), a gathering of 35 public sector leaders dismantling structural racism with a keen focus on reformative legislation highlighting the urgent needs of Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino/a/x, and Tribal communities. Shannon has an extensive background in social work and racial justice, with over 20 years of experience in housing, homelessness, and behavioral health. Singleton received her undergraduate social work degree from Temple University and a master's degree from Portland State University, where she also teaches in the Graduate School of Social Work.
We are excited for this opportunity to:
Get a brief update on the RJC's purpose, priorities, and plans for the future
Hear highlights on how equity priorities, particularly for the Latinx community, are being reflected in policy and budget developments this legislative session
Ask questions, and learn how we can support final actions this session!

Empowering Educators: Emotion Regulation & Resilience
Training for Educators & Those Supporting Educators
June 7, 5:00 - 6:15pm
Register here for this FREE event by June 5
It is an honor for the Sabiduría program in collaboration with Trauma Informed Oregon to offer a training for educators focused on supporting resiliency and self-regulation for BIPOC students.
This session is tailored to educators of elementary and middle school age students, particularly those working with students of color, as well as those who support educators.
We’ll define emotion regulation and bust some myths around “resilience” and “regulation”. You will walk away with actionable regulation strategies to practice in the moment that can also be implemented within a classroom setting in a culturally-responsive and trauma-informed manner. The session will end with designing a personalized action plan on staying accountable to implementing at least one regulation strategy for yourself and/or in the classroom. A recorded video will be available after the session.
Facilitators: This training is facilitated by an amazing expert and colleague in the field of children resiliency, Dr. Sharon Lo, PhD and two PhD Sabiduría students, Alicia Vasquez, MA and Sandra Morales, MA, School of Graduate Psychology-Pacific University
