For many Americans, mental health care isn’t there when they need it. In this webinar, we’ll hear from a leading international researcher of mental health access challenges for immigrants and communities of color. He will share a model for how taking innovative community-based approaches can make it easier for Latino, Filipino and LGBTQ+ clients to benefit from mental health care that better serves their needs. The program in California’s Solano County led to dramatic increases in the number of people from underserved communities calling for appointments and receiving outpatient care, rather than crisis services. The collaboration has caught the attention of the state and dozens of other counties seeking to make their mental health systems more equitable. In this webinar, we’ll consider what this forward-thinking program teaches us about the broader effort to expand access to mental health care in underserved communities.
