INTEGRATING CULTURAL DIVERSITY into MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES & COMMUNITY WELLNESS

Have you ever sat through mental health trainings and asked yourself these questions?

“Why did I pay for this?—I’m not learning anything new! How can I translate this theory into practice? How is this knowledge going to help the individuals, families, or communities I support? How can I be more proactive as a clinician and include more strengths-focused wellness instead of addressing crises/problems only? How can I move my practice and/or agency forward to meet the diverse and changing needs of clients and communities?”

Through customized training and program development, I help clinicians and organizations develop culturally attuned mental health practices and services that effectively address people’s needs. I work with individual practitioners as well as agencies, governmental entities, faith-based communities, and educational & research institutions.

“Whether you know Dr. Haskins as a counselor, educator, advocate or friend, any opportunity to engage with her is an absolute gift. Her wisdom and warmth is beyond measure - she is an incredible asset to the field of problem gambling.”
–Josh Ercole, Executive Director, PA Council on Compulsive Gambling

ADVOCACY

Homicidal Loss | Problem & Disordered Gambling | Community Wellness & Mental Health

Facing adversity takes courage and resilience, and there are times when we need to lean on others to hold that space of courage and resilience for those going through any challenge. Too many people are silently suffering from the loss of a dear one from homicide. Too many people, families and communities are hurting others because they have been hurt themselves. We have to address this trauma before it consumes our indomitable spirit.
