According to NAMI, Non-Hispanic white adults (52%) are more than twice as likely to receive treatment for a mental illness compared to Asian Americans (25%). Those numbers increase modestly among the Hispanic or Latino (36%) and Black or African American (39%) communities but still do not achieve parity.
This July, in honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, please join The Hill as we convene a diverse group of administration officials, lawmakers, medical providers, and advocates to discuss the impact of mental health inequities and explore solutions to help meet the needs of America's underserved communities.
