Dr. Gino Aisenberg, PhD, MSW, is an Associate Professor at the School of Social Work at the University of Washington. His early research focused on exposure to community violence and its traumatic effects, including PTSD, that African-American and Latinx children and their parents experienced. Dr. Aisenberg is co-editor of the 2011 book, Violence in Context: Current Evidence on Risk, Protection, and Prevention. Later, Dr. Aisenberg’s research focused on depression experienced by Latinx individuals. He developed and currently delivers an innovative curriculum and training program, Nueva Vista, to equip BSW students at Heritage University to deliver an evidence-based, culturally responsive CBT manualized treatment by phone to Latinx clients of the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic who struggle with depression.
Dr. Aisenberg is the founder and co-Director of the Latino Center for Health, an interdisciplinary, community-engaged research center established in 2014. The Center’s mission is to promote the health and well-being of Latinx communities. Key to its success is its authentic partnerships with community stakeholders to translate research into culturally responsive, evidence-based practices and health policies that promote impactful improvements in health for urban and rural Latinx populations.
