Newman\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, Faculty Associate\, Joint Centre for Bioethics \nSexual and gender minority populations experience adverse social determinants of health that increase their vulnerability amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless\, public health responses operate from mainstream perspectives that fail to account for marginalization. \nWe developed a theory informed\, peer-delivered eHealth intervention based on motivational interviewing and psychoeducation to reduce depression and anxiety and increase COVID-19 knowledge and protective behaviors among LGBTQ+ adults in Toronto. We used a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test design\, with generalized estimating equations and zero-truncated Poisson models to evaluate the effectiveness of the 3-session intervention on the four primary outcomes. \nAmong participants (n=202; median age\, 27 years [IQR 23-32]) enrolled from March to November 2021\, the intervention led to statistically significant reductions in the prevalence of clinically significant depressive and anxiety symptoms and increases in Covid-19 protective behaviors from baseline to postintervention. Implementation through community-based organizations by peer educators supports feasibility\, acceptability\, and the potential for scale-up in future waves of COVID-19 or other public health emergencies. \n> Details and registration\n  URL:https://socialwork.utoronto.ca/event/safehandssafehearts-a-peer-delivered-e-health-intervention-for-sexual-and-gender-minority-adults-amid-the-covid-19-pandemic/ LOCATION:Ontario CATEGORIES:External public event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230309T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230309T193000 DTSTAMP:20260419T214407 CREATED:20230222T135651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230222T212643Z UID:41848-1678384800-1678390200@socialwork.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:E(Racing) the Masters’ tools: Africentric Social Work by and for People of African Descent\, with Dr. Delores V.

With their direct\, intentional\, and persistent actions\, African Canadians have influenced all sectors of Canadian society.   \nExercising the knowledge and skills of their lived experience\, African Canadian students\, practitioners\, staff and administrators have carved out a space for social work practice with people of African descent. In this presentation\, by Dr. Delores Mullings will build on existing notions of Africentric social work grounded in the understanding that people of African descent have ownership. Her talk will provide leadership in the knowledge production and dissemination of this framework.  \n  \nAbout Dr. Delores V. Mullings  \n \nDr. Delores V. Mullings rests on the shoulders of her African Ancestors who have paved the way\, enabling her to be the first among many firsts. She is a member of a large extended family\, the mother of two living Black queens\, a sister\, a friend and the second daughter of Maddah Mullings\, her original feminist.
