Addressing the Minority Mental Health Crisis with Dr. Kim Jones-Fearing

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service Office of Minority Health:“Minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and treatment for their mental illness, have less access to and availability of mental health services, and often receive a poorer quality of mental health care.”Limited access, language barriers, mistrust of healthcare systems, and deep-rooted cultural stigmatization of mental health are just some of the barriers minorities face in receiving quality mental healthcare.
