About CMHE
What is Mental Health Equity?
Not everyone in our society has equitable access to resources and services when they need them. Mental Health Equity means fair access to opportunities to attain high-quality mental health care for all, regardless of social, economic, and demographic status.
This lack of access can be related to a lack of affordable therapy, culturally informed and linguistically appropriate services for diverse clients, and unequal access to mental health education. Sometimes, individuals’ gender, ethnic and racial background, disability, and sexual orientation impact access to mental health services because of discrimination and systemic oppression.
Why this center ?
Our center specifically aims to advance equity in mental health care among underserved and communities with the goal of promoting equal opportunities for all and distributing resources to reduce disparities.
