The stigma of mental health and mental illness can be deadly in market segments dominated by men. Historically, construction, maritime and manufacture are not perceived as work environmental where men can talk about their problems. As a consequence, men suffer in silence which affects their physical health and wellbeing. This is a global problem that impacts human performance, productivity and prosperity. The realization that male workers in traditional industries are just as fragile as other male workers in more stressful occupations such as finance and sales. This presentation only begins to focus on the issue but the impact can be catastrophic for the individual, the person's career, company, society, policy, and the economy.
the presentation focuses on the issues faced by the community as well as the international treaties and local policies that protect their rights as humans and individuals. Moreover, in this presentation, it reminds the SOCIAL WORKERS; their roles in this particular sector

Cultural Competence Resources for GLBT Health. Delivered at the Diverse Students' Leadership Conference, St Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN. March 2011.

DESCRIPTION
Institutional and social barriers place Latino families in the U.S. at greater risk for adverse health outcomes, often facing unique challenges to healthy sexuality and access to reproductive health care; the services available are often not linguistically or culturally appropriate. To help Latinos navigate the health care system and address their need for culturally relevant health information, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) utilizes specially trained lay community members as frontline public health advisors. Promotores de Salud have firsthand knowledge of the issues affecting the communities in which they live and serve, and through direct education and training in homes and other familiar venues, become trusted resources. The workshop described the Promotores model and explored how community health advisors can model and teach health literacy skills in underserved communities.

She has facilitated reproductive health education programming including hundreds of home health parties for the Latino community since 2003. She is well recognized for training and using lay community workers known as Promotores de Salud to reach the Latino community. Maria is a graduate of the Latino Nonprofit Leadership Program through UW-Milwaukee and Cardinal Stritch University, and is a Certified Sexuality Educator by Planned Parenthood of Western Washington and Centralia College.
Al Castro, MS BSSW, Program Director at the United Community Center of Milwaukee, manages the UCC Health Research Department, which collaborates with universities to conduct community-engaged research to develop programs and services that address health issues and inequities in the Latino community.

Angeles now concentrates her volunteer efforts on creating leadership among Latina women and reducing Latino obesity. As a health promoter at PPWI, she uses the Cuidandonos Creceremos mas Sanos curriculum she helped develop to facilitate home health parties that help Latino families get comfortable talking about healthy
