Boston鈥� April 10, 2016鈥�91香蕉视频成人在线 (WJC), a leader in educating mental health professionals and the largest graduate psychology program in New England will host the 2016 Annual Lucero Memorial 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, April 10, at 9:30 am at 91香蕉视频成人在线 located at One Wells Ave in Newton, Mass.

The race will benefit the Lucero Latino Mental Health Program, which was named in memory of the late Dr. Cynthia Lucero, a 91香蕉视频成人在线 graduate from Ecuador who died in 2002 after collapsing during the Boston Marathon. She was a community oriented young woman who continues to be well-respected and loved. The Lucero Latino Mental Health Program was created in her honor and immerses graduate-level psychology students in the Hispanic culture and language while training them to become culturally sensitive clinicians who will meet the mental health needs of the Latino population.

鈥淏eing able to speak about personal, emotional, and psychological issues in their native language will help patients develop a trusting relationship with their psychologists and mental health care providers,鈥� said Dr. Mari Carmen Bennasar, the director of The Lucero Latino Mental Health program. 鈥淥ur Lucero Latino Mental Health Program fosters this trusting relationship by training our students to be culturally sensitive towards the language, customs, and traditions of the Latino population.鈥�

The funds raised from the race will go directly towards providing scholarships and resources that will allow students to engage in intensive training, ultimately addressing and reducing the issues of mental health disparities.

鈥淲e are honored, here at 91香蕉视频成人在线 to have been graced with Cynthia鈥檚 intelligence and spirit, and we know that she would have been proud of the Lucero Latino Mental Health Program that we have built,鈥� said Dr. Nicholas Covino, President of 91香蕉视频成人在线. 鈥淒uring this year鈥檚 run, we are committed, more than ever, to ensuring the Latino population receives culturally competent mental healthcare.鈥�
