There is continued stigma around mental health in minority communities, and research shows that mental health illness and disorder increased during COVID-19. We must increase conversations about mental health to increase awareness and normalize mental health conditions. If you conduct health education/promotion work, or represent an organization that does, join us to engage with the author and find out how to conduct an evidence-based mental health awareness and education promotion program from assessment.
Learning Objectives:
Vehicles and resources to address mental health in the minority community.
Upon interacting with the author participant will be able to describe how a minority mental health (MH) campaign can address myths about MH.
Create a plan to implement a mental health awareness campaign.
