Cultural stigmas and social taboos make mental health a difficult topic, creating barriers to seeking treatment and leaving communities vulnerable to suffering from mental health issues. Our Latine community is far more likely to face these barriers as well as inadequate access to treatment services.
Please join us as we work to break down the barriers to mental health supports for our Latine community through a three-part series.
Our first webinar topic is adult mental health care, focusing on affordability, access, cultural appropriateness and education on the benefits of seeking treatment.
