Steven R. Lopez, PhD
Sponsored by the Hans Lowenbach Memorial Fund Steven Regeser López PhD is a Professor of Psychology and Social Work at the University of Southern California. His most recent research focuses on reducing the duration of untreated psychosis among Latinos with their first episode of a psychotic disorder by applying a community campaign called La CLAve. He has also developed a model of cultural competence (Shifting Cultural Lenses), and has trained over one thousand mental health professionals to use the model. For fifteen years, he directed a summer research training program in Mexico to promote collaborations between over one hundred US Latino students and Mexican mental health researchers. In all his efforts, he strives to promote a conversation about mental health, the role of culture, and effective care.
