The majority of U.S adults claim that there are not enough mental health care providers who are trained to address issues specific to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status and almost a quarter of adults either do not seek mental health care or struggle to get care due to cultural barriers (Mental Health First Aid USA, 2022). As such, culturally responsive mental health care is a topic all mental health teams should be concerned with. This discussion will focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging considerations across the health care team.

Panelists will present methods of fostering trusts among diverse community groups and recommendations for bridging disparities. This discussion will also present methods of recognizing and addressing personal bias and ways organizations can move from being culturally competent to being cultural partners. Audience members will then have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelist regarding DEIB considerations.
