Community Conversations with Clients and Guardians

Resources for Wilder Community Mental Health & Wellness Staff

In summer and fall 2026, Wilder Research is hosting small group conversations (focus groups) with CMHW clients and families from the following cultural communities:

  • Black/African American
  • Karen
  • Burmese
  • Cambodian/Khmer
  • Hmong
  • Latino/Hispanic
  • Vietnamese

This work uses a Community-Based Participatory Research approach so that researchers from the same cultural communities have designed the process and will lead conversations. This page includes resources to answer your questions, help you recruit clients and families, and ensure a successful project. Thank you for your help!
