Communities of color are at higher risk of getting COVID-19. Black, Latino/a/x, and Indigenous/Native communities are 4-5 times more likely to be hospitalized, according to the CDC. This snowballs into disproportionate impact on employment, mental health and more. What do we need to know? What can we do? This event brought together experts and practitioners to share information and resources on living through the epidemic. We covered a wide range of topics including: 1) how to get accurate information; 2) strategies for managing stress; and 3) and how to be in community. Participants could join for as many sessions or fun activities as they liked.
Las comunidades de color corren un mayor riesgo de contraer COVID-19. Las comunidades Negras, Latinas e Indígenas son de 4 a 5 veces más propensas a ser hospitalizadas por COVID-19, según el CDC. Esto causa efectos desproporcionados en el empleo, la salud mental y más. ¿Qué necesitamos saber? ¿Qué podemos hacer? Este evento reúne a expertos y profesionales para compartir información y recursos sobre cómo vivir a lo largo de la epidemia. Hablaremos sobre una amplia gama de temas, incluyendo: 1) cómo obtener información precisa; 2) estrategias para manejar el estrés; y 3) y como buscar y reunirse con su comunidad. Acompáñenos en tantas sesiones o actividades divertidas como desee.
Kominote moun ki pa blan yo gen plis risk pou yo trape maladi Covid-19 la. Mete sou sa, Nwa yo, Latino yo, ak moun Otòktòn yo gen 4-5 fwa plis chans entène lopital, daprè CDC Etazini. Sitiyasyon sa gen konsekans sou travay, sante mantal epi lakòz lòt pwoblèm ankò. Kisa nou bezwen konnen? Ki sa nou ka fè? Aktivite sa pral rasanble ekspè ak pwofèsyonèl pou pataje enfòmasyon ak estrateji sou kijan nou ka viv byen pandan pandemi a. Nou pral pale sou plizyè koze, tankou 1) Kijan pou jwenn bon jan enfòmasyon; 2) Kijan pou nou jere strès; 3) Kijan pou nou rasanble nan kominote nou yo. Nou ka patisipe nan tout rankont oubyen aktivite nou vle.
