On Sept. 18, the APA Foundation's Melvin Sabshin, M.D., Library and Archives launched “Audaces Líderes: Hispanic Pioneers in American Psychiatry,” to highlight Hispanic leadership in advocating for the mental health needs of the Latino community. The exhibit showcases the origins of the 1970 Task Force on Mental Health of Spanish-Speaking People in the U.S., the Committee of Hispanic Psychiatrists, and the establishment of the Simón Bolívar Award in 1975 to raise awareness of the mental health goals and challenges of Hispanic and Latino individuals. Additionally, LaSaludMental.org, APA's evidence-based resource website in Spanish, has expanded from its initial offering of information on five of the most common mental disorders to 17 mental health conditions. Recent additions include anxiety disorders, the connection between climate change and mental health, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. In the last two years, the site has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, reaching the mental health professionals and Hispanic and Latino communities they were designed to serve.

According to “Connected Play: Adolescent Gaming and Perceived Loneliness,” the Foundation's newly published white paper, conducted by the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, one in five adolescents who engage in online gaming have encountered toxicity and safety issues. While lonely adolescents may turn to gaming for social connections, they are more likely to report negative experiences, suggesting that these virtual environments are not providing the supportive and fulfilling interactions they need. The Foundation initially brought its expertise in mental health to gaming beginning in 2023, seeking to leverage the widespread popularity of gaming to transform it into a creative avenue for reaching youths who are struggling with mental health challenges, such as persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loneliness (see “White paper touts gaming as tool to combat youth MH crisis,” <i>MHW</i>, Oct. 30, 2023; https://doi.org/10.1002/mhw.33839).</p>","PeriodicalId":100916,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Weekly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
