Mental Health Awareness Month
Everyone deserves access to respectful and culturally appropriate care.
- Members of racial and ethnic minority groups experience challenges that may require unique mental health support.
- Cultural differences should be respected and celebrated when providing mental health support.
- Mental health care providers are encouraged to consider the cultural nuances and needs of the diverse communities they serve.
- Addressing and reducing barriers to treatment are the first steps to building more equitable health systems.
- Together, we can improve access to mental health care for people from racial and ethnic minority groups.
If you or a loved one is experiencing or affected by a mental health, substance use, or suicidal crisis, please call or text ‘988’ (or chat online on 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s website) for free, confidential, and immediate help.
