Resilience and Renewal: Transformación Through Community, Collaboration, and Intentional Practices This year’s summit comes at a time of significant growth, momentum, and transformation for our campus community. As we navigate the opportunity for renewal, we remain resilient and committed to enacting a serving-minded community through collaboration and empowerment. Join colleagues in collective care, learning, and interactively sharing best practices to serving our students, and each other.  Mental Health Impact of Transformación on Staff and Faculty at HSIsKeynote: Adriana Alejandre, LMFT Founder of Latinx Therapy, trauma psychotherapist, podcaster, and nationally recognized mental health advocate An interactive 45-minute discussion on systemic challenges staff and faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions face and how these challenges impact the mental health of not only the staff and faculty, but also the students they serve. This talk will include an exploration of cultural factors that influence our communication style, how the transformation process connects with accountability, compassion fatigue, and burnout and its impact on the nervous system. Recommended strategies to create a culturally attuned environment during change with an emphasis on mental health will be shared. Practical tools and a co-regulation exercise will be implemented to model collective care that staff and faculty could utilize on their own or with their students. A Q&A will follow this talk. Resources connected to the topic will be shared. Agenda
