To bring awareness to the health disparities and unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face in this country, SAMHSA published a series of three blogs in the month of July: Coping with Community Violence Together; Addressing Disparities by Diversifying Behavioral Health Research; and Using Cuento to Support the Behavioral Health Needs of Hispanic/Latinos.
Coping with Community Violence Together discusses ways minority communities can cope with mass gun violence.
Addressing Disparities by Diversifying Behavioral Health Research discusses the need to increase diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in behavioral health research, especially in relation to the African American population.
Using Cuento to Support the Behavioral Health Needs of Hispanic/Latinos discusses culturally appropriate approaches to eliminating behavioral health disparities of Hispanics/Latinos.
