Minority Mental Health, Vol. 3 Issue 22

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. It is a time to bring awareness to the unique challenges that racial and ethnic minorities in the United States face when it comes to mental illness. In 2020, fewer than one in every two African American adults got care for mental health. In 2018, Asian Americans were 60 percent less likely to receive mental health treatment than non Hispanic Whites. Obstacles for many include a lack of health insurance, less access to treatment, and stigma.
