Honoring the Communities We Serve
How can we as providers engage the communities we set out to serve? Not centering ourselves and what we want for them, but truly thinking about who they are and actively listening to what it is they need. My guest Yvette Madrid (IG: @sabe_la_gamela), MSW, ASW chats with me about community engagement and truly honoring our communities. Shifting our lens on community approach and seeking out ways to make effective change in the mental/behavioral profession.
Yvette can also be reached at: [email protected]
Bio: Currently living and working in Southern California. Yvette earned her Master’s degree of social work in 2018 and officially completed hours towards licensure as of this week. Yvette received her bachelors from California State University Dominguez Hills in Chicano Studies with a concentration in social, education, and community development. Yvette has gained professional experience in working within public education and public health. Yvette professional expertise also includes working with high needs, historically disenfranchised, low income, and “severely emotionally disturbed” (SED) youth. After working six years in community based mental health specialized in crisis intervention and prevention and early intervention, Yvette transitioned to medical social work providing clinical social work practice in a pediatric hematology/oncology outpatient clinic.
Current passion projects include providing cultural/community events and workshops focused on spiritual healing practices passed down from past generations which include tarot card reading, traditional limpias (energy cleansing), storytelling, and consults or “platicas.” Yvette self identifies as an intuitive/clairvoyant, and utilizes her spiritual gifts as a means of self care especially when working closely to families facing death, dying, trauma, and chronic illness. Her own spiritual healing practices have given her strength to provide holistic culturally competent care to her patients and their families.
