2018 Community Convening
A second gathering held in November the following year in 2018 drew closer to 200 attendees at DePaul University in Chicago. This most recent gathering was thus entitled, “Chicago Communities and Universities United: A Convening on Immigrant Mental Health” and included keynote and panel speakers who have been directly impacted by immigration policy, poster presentations from community-based researchers, and roundtable discussion to explicitly elicit the perspectives of all attendees. Representatives from at least eight local university institutions and four community-based and advocacy-oriented organizations participated in the planning of these convenings.
