Audio (mp3) recording
Moderate a panel that presents a public health perspective on mitigating the pernicious impact of chronic stress on urban, minority youth. This session will  provide a foundation for differentiating types of stress responses, which requires an assessment of social and environmental factors influencing adolescent development, risk behaviors, and school success. The session will also discuss strategies for implementing school-wide chronic stress management programming and policies. These approaches are designed to promote health equity by ensuring high school completion and a lifetime of better health and economic opportunities for students challenged by living in disadvantaged communities.

Learning Areas:

Diversity and culture
Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs
Other professions or practice related to public health
Program planning
Public health or related organizational policy, standards, or other guidelines
Systems thinking models (conceptual and theoretical models), applications related to public health

Learning Objectives:
Explain the continuum of stress and implications for school-wide prevention/intervention. Differentiate clinical strategies from public health strategies in the provision of mental health care of urban minority youth.
