Capacity Building on Behavioral Health in Underserved Populations by Hoa Appel

Overview

happel2 — 2022-08-16 22:01:47 UTC

We’ve seen how COVID-19 affected every aspect of our lives, locally, nationally, and worldwide. In the United States, the consequences of closures and quarantine increased stress, worry, isolation, and mental health and substance use problems. These issues were exacerbated among Black and Latinx populations. The disproportionate burden on communities of color were heightened by language barriers, lack of mental health access, distrust in the health care system, shortage of mental health providers, and inadequate or lack of insurance coverage.

The study’s main aims are to engage with the Blacks and Latinx populations in King and Snohomish Counties; connect with existing networks of community stakeholders, providers, and researchers to co-learn about patient-centered outcomes research; and build partnerships with those that work with these populations. It is important to have community members who are impacted to be part of the conversation to learn more about and prioritize their health care needs.

Good Morning,

I will be sharing various flyers from my agency, Center for Human Services. First up, here is our official website: https://www.chs-nw.org/ and I've attached a general "Services and Map" flyer as well.

Unfortunately, the blog only allows us to post one PDF at a time so I will make separate posts for other flyers I want to share :)

Hello everyone! I wanted to share the final report on a study that I was a part of a few months ago, which explored the Behavioral Health Inequities in WA state. I hope that it provides some insight on what behavioral health agencies are doing / the direction we are hoping to move towards. Happy reading! - Arra
