Advancing Latino Mental Health Access

Advancing Latinx Mental Health Access (ALMA)’s aim is to provide deeper and more focused support to programs and agencies who have an expressed interest in increasing the accessibility of culturally responsive mental health support to Latinx people. Some examples of the types of support ALMA offers to organizations include support for identifying strengths, gaps and areas for growth, and targeting implementation of culturally responsive practice. Trainings and coaching sessions are offered to programs, along with policy review and feedback sessions to identify and address topics such as social drivers of health, community engagement or adherence to best practices around cultural and linguistic accessibility. Support and guidance around using CLAS (culturally and linguistically appropriate services) standards, and culturally and linguistically appropriate assessments are also provided.
