Course Description: Latina Lesbian Transgender communities in Chicago face complex challenges. Based on the findings of Amigas
Latinas Research Project, " Proyecto Latina", this training will provide advocates with relevant information on
the current status of Latinas LBT in Chicago. The analysis of the data collected during a six-month period, shows the
need for a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to Latina LBT issues, including public health, domestic violence, discriminatory
practices, etc. Additionally, the analysis speaks to the scarcity of Intervention models which acknowledge both, Latino
culture norms and traits, and the impact of institutionalized racism. Participants to this training will enhance their understanding
of the Latino LBT cultures and will acquire appropriate tools for community outreach, individual intervention and case management.
