July: National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
This Minority Mental Health Month we are continuing efforts to advance mental health equity for racial and ethnic minority communities by improving Better Mental Health Through Better Understanding.
Minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and treatment for their mental illness, have less access to mental health services and often receive a poorer quality of mental health care. Join us in advancing Better Mental Health Through Better Understanding this #MinorityMentalHealth Month! @NAMICommunicate has resources and information to help us address health disparities impacting the mental wellbeing of racial and ethnic minority communities.
