Better Together - Culturally Mindful Practice
December 15th & 16th Fairmont Newport Beach
The 2016 UC Mental Health Cultural Competency Summit provided a space for mental health practitioners to enhance their knowledge, skills, and abilities in providing culturally mindful mental health treatment to diverse students. We shared cutting edge strategies, successes, challenges, pitfalls, and solutions in our pursuit towards excellence. Campus mental health leadership and staff (to include psychologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, primary care physicians, social workers, marriage and family therapists, case managers, administrators and all trainees) were highly encouraged to attend.
The 2-day conference included:
- Engaging Keynote Speakers
- Advanced clinical training in culturally responsive treatments
- Meaningful dialogue on hot topics
- Creative Vendors
- Networking & Collaboration
- Wellness & Self-care

Keynote Speaker
A UC Irvine alum, Dr. Kevin Nadal is an award-winning scholar/activist who received his doctorate degree in counseling psychology from Columbia University. He is one of the leading researchers in understanding the impacts of microaggressions on the mental and physical health of people of color; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people; and other marginalized groups. As a self-proclaimed California-bred New Yorker, he once won an argument with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor"; he has been featured in the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, PBS, History Channel, HGTV, Philippine News, and Filipinas Magazine, to name a few. He has published over 90 works on multicultural issues in the fields of psychology and education and is the author of five books including Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice (2011, John Wiley and Sons), and That's So Gay: Microaggressions and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community (2013, APA Books). Currently, he is the Executive Director of the CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies at the City University of New York (CUNY), as well as an Associate Professor of psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and CUNY.
