Breaking mental health stigmas in minority groups

More from this show

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, and there are often stigmas surrounding access to care and cultural perceptions for mental health and mental health treatment.

Jesus Alderete, BSN RN and Behavioral Health Nursing Director for Valleywise Health, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss these challenges and the importance of culturally responsive mental health care.

Studies have shown mental health challenges in communities of color have often gone untreated.
