About LBHI
LBHI is a non-profit
corporation founded by CEO Ambrosio Rodriguez, M.P.A., and
incorporated in 1996 (EIN No.: 93-1195514). LBHI’s mission is to
enhance skills of persons interested or involved in providing
behavioral health services to the Latino community. The Institute is
dedicated to eliminating discrimination against persons in need of
behavioral health services, human services or health care.
LBHI accomplishes its
mission by providing training, education (interactive and dyadic) and
experiential opportunities to persons involved in human services with
the Latino community. The Institute’s activities are intended for
consumers, family members, professional care providers,
administrators, educators, researchers and trainers.
Since its inception, LBHI
has provided hands-on training in delivery of culturally competent
behavioral health services to practitioners. It has also participated
in education opportunities for family members of persons requiring
behavioral healthcare.
LBHI held annual national
conferences since 1995, addressing Latino behavioral health issues.
The Conference has grown from 450 participants in 1995 to 1,200 in
2005. The Conferences addressed issues of children, adults, older
adults and explored contemporary issues of policy, training, research,
clinical and education as related to Latino substance abuse, mental
health, health and other human services.
LBHI has been joined in
these efforts by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), National Hispanic Science Network (NHSN),
