DHEW Publication No.(ADM) 80-00108T Printed 1979 ACKNCIALEDGEMENTIS This training program has undergone several developmental stages since 1974, when it was first offered by the New York Division of SUbstance Abuse Services Bureau of Training and Resource Development in New York City. Since then, the content has been revised to reflect the needs of substance Abuse staff in acquiring more knowledge and skills in treating their Puerto Rican clients. The current training package reflects a synthesis of historical information about the formation of Puerto Rico, its unique relationship with the United States, and the social, cultural, and political forces which affect treatment of Puerto Rican substance Abusers. Puerto Rican and Culture: A Short Overview represents the cadbinei efforts resources of many concerned individuals and insti- tutions in their attempts to further the cause of inter-ethnic con- municaticns between the Puerto Rican minority and the society at large, specifically between the Puerto Rican substance abuser and the mental health settings. Many individuals and institutions have contributed and made this program what it is today, particularly all the trainees who, through their participation and constant feedback, have made this course an ever changing, living document that reflects the everyday concerns, conflicts, struggles and triumphs experienced by the Puerto Rican substance abuser and his/her counselor. Without this support or participation, the program becomes merely a compilation of articles, statistics, and historical information; trainees are the most important element . the human element. Those individuals from the New York Division of Substance Abuse Services who have contributed to this program include Walter M. Hialev, II. Director, Anne Hubbard, Ph.D., Deputy-DIiidfor, Robert Detor, Director of Training, Gail Norman, William Cble, Lee Harrison, Instructional Developers, and Felice SChulman7Marcus, Evaluator. We would also like to adknowledge the contributions of the Puerto Rican Tourism Development Corporation for the use of their excellent slide collection; The Aerican Museum of Natural History and the Museo del Barrio for their contributions to the visual aspects of the course. In addition, special thanks for the contributions and endorsement of the National Association of Puerto Rican Drug Abuse Programs (NAPRDAP), particularly Frank Espada and Omar Bordatto for their revisions and ArlAitions to the course. Also thanks to Oscar Camadho for his assistance in the development of the "Counselor's Guide to Do's and Don'ts," and to Joe Conzo for the preparation of the tape "Puerto Rican Music." In addition, a note of appreciation for the staff of the National Drug Abuse Center for Training and Resource Development, especially Beth (B.J.) Gillispie for her assistance on the final preparation and reproduction of the course. The Puerto Rican History and Culture Course is one of the first products of its kind that has been developed within the National Manpower and Training System. One of the reasons it was selected, aside from its relevance to imporving treatment provided to Puerto Rican clients, wasto offer it as one possible model for use in training other persons involved in the treatment of ndnorities. It is hoped that this course will inspire others to develop similar courses for other minority groups, and that this investment in similar courses felt by the Manpower Training Branch/National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Manpower and Training System will be continued. 5 PROGRAMDESCRIPTION OVERALL GOALS To help participants to . understand the Importance of geographical, historical, cultural and racial factors in the development of the Puerto Rican nation and their impact on Puerto Ricans today, and how this relates to the experiences of Puerto Rican substance abusers. develop sensitivity to problems and issues facing Puerto Rican clients and their implications for counselor intervention and possible treatment planning.
