The Graduate School of Education and Psychology Celebrates the Education and Mental Health Needs of Latinx Communities


cabe logoIn commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) is pleased to share the most recent decades of publications from the institution’s faculty developed in support of the mental health and education needs of Latinx communities.

GSEP has a rich history of serving a wide range of individuals and communities through academic offerings, scholarly activity, and clinical services. These are some of the many ways in which the school demonstrates innovative learning in a community where faculty, staff, and students of diverse cultures and perspectives work collaboratively to foster academic excellence, social purpose, meaningful service, and personal fulfillment.

Aliento, The Center for Latinx Communities at Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) is dedicated to addressing the individual and communal mental health needs of Latinx communities. Learn more about the Aliento program at GSEP.
