Published:
October 3, 2022

From September 15 to October 15, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the contributions of Hispanic and Latino people in the United States. As we honor the achievements of Latinos—including those who identify as Afro-Latino, Black, Indigenous, and more—we invite you to check out resources developed by the PS MHTTC that may be particularly relevant to Latino and Hispanic communities.

In the coming weeks, join us in lifting up the mental health experiences of this diverse community by digging into information, resources, and events meant to improve access to effective, culturally responsive behavioral health services!
