Resource Spotlight:

 
From September 15 to October 15, National Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration that honors the cultural contributions and identities of Hispanic and Latino people in the United States. This month, we shed light on the multitude of mental health experiences within Hispanic and Latino communities, including those who identify as Afro-Latino, Black, Indigenous, and more, as well as the disproportionate inequities they face due to systemic barriers and historical adversity.

Our collaborative Network of 13 Centers is inclusive of a national population-focused Center, the National Hispanic and Latino MHTTC. Their mission is to provide high-quality training and technical assistance to improve the capacity of the workforce serving Hispanic and Latino communities in behavioral health prevention, treatment, and recovery. 

For more information, visit their home page and view their free and easily accessible resources. Our hope is to inspire others to raise awareness and take part in sharing information, resources, and support for the mental health of Hispanic and Latino communities.

In addition, the MHTTC Network Coordinating Office recently published a webpage for National Hispanic Heritage Month that includes upcoming events and published products from our Network related to Hispanic and Latino mental health. Access this special resource collection below!
