Dallas College Mountain View Campus

We at the Cannenta Foundation are excited to present to you our FIRST annual Hispanic Mental Health Conference.

The Hispanic Mental Health Conference will provide opportunities for mental health professionals from across the state to learn how to serve the growing Hispanic community.

Sessions will be held in English and Spanish on best practices for mental health professionals AND will also provide a track of sessions for the general public to learn more about mental health treatment, understand stigmas, and meet local mental health providers through informative workshops in English and Spanish.

Conference participants will also be invited to join in the Cannenta Foundation book launch of Self Care for Chingonas.

100% of the proceeds of The Hispanic Mental Health Conference will be contributed to the Cannenta Foundation Fund, which goes to support those in our Hispanic community in need of mental health assistance.

We are Honored to Present Our Keynote Speaker

Our keynote speaker is Dr. Ignacio “Nacho” Jarero. He is an Expert Certified TeleMental Health EMDR clinician and the world pioneer in providing EMDR Therapy in a group format, in-person and online, AIP-informed Advance Psychosocial Interventions for Trauma-Exposed Populations, and AIP-informed Treatment Procedures for in-person and remote treatment.

Dr. Jarero is also known for his humanitarian work around the world. He has received the Francine Shapiro Award, the International Crisis Response Leadership Award, and the Psychotrauma Trajectory Award. For his research work with EMDR therapy, he received the EMDRIA Outstanding Research Award.
