| | | NHF12-120 | | Effective Social Work Strategies for Engaging the African-American Male Speakers: Waldo E. Johnson Jr., PhD, MSW; Moderator: Debra Honig, MSW, LCSW This session focuses on the role and importance of historical and contemporary social statuses that shape medical and public health professional individual and institutional practices with African-American males. We explore how these racialized and social class experiences, coupled with American male cultural notions and experiences with public and private social welfare and social service institutions as both patients and clients, frame the context for examining African-American male marginalized engagement and their subsequent distrust/mistrust of the medical and public health professions. In addition, the presentation focuses on how male help-seeking behavior and culture within the disproportionately impoverished African-American community influence engagement with social welfare and social service institutions. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |
