UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH IN LATINX COMMUNITIES

​

MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA - “For the Latinx/Hispanic community, mental health and mental illness are  often stigmatized topics resulting in prolonged suffering in silence. This silence  compounds the range of experiences that may lead to mental health conditions  including immigration, acculturation, trauma, and generational conflicts.. Mental Health America (MHA) works at both the national and local levels to raise awareness about mental health. “ 

​

NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS - “Mental health conditions do not discriminate based on race, color, gender or identity. However, your concerns or experiences and how you understand and cope with these conditions may be different. NAMI has information, resources, and recommendations for the Latinx/Hispanic community.”

​

MEDICAL NEWS TODAY - “A starting list from Medical News Today of scholarly sources that provide reliable information on how   stress and anxiety affect mental health.”
