ABOUT
Psychology and Spanish Elective Opportunity (PASEO, LLC) is an immersion-based language training program designed to build Spanish skills for use in mental health settings. PASEO is designed for students and professionals in psychology, psychiatry, clinical social work, and related fields. The program combines formal language instruction, service learning, seminars, and conversation partners to help generalize and reinforce skills.
MISSION
12% of the United States population speaks Spanish, making it the 5th largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. This demographic struggles to attain quality mental health services because of a lack of professionals who speak Spanish. Native Spanish speakers who are assessed in English are often misdiagnosed, overmedicated, or pathologized. Many bilingual children are incorrectly placed in special education or not given access to accommodations needed for learning disabilities because of a lack of professionals who can do psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing in Spanish.
PASEO confronts inequalities in mental health services through quality training of students and professionals in psychological Spanish. PASEO will also provide a consistent stream of students to an underserved region in Peru with high rates of depression, trauma, and domestic violence, while working with Peruvian professionals to ensure culturally competent care.
PASEO, LLC is committed to uniting individuals who are passionate about global mental health, increasing access to mental health services to Latino youth and families both domestically and abroad, and filling a much needed training gap encountered by individuals who speak some Spanish, but do not yet feel confident to deliver services in Spanish.
