Disparities in mental health diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes significantly affect racial, ethnic, and LGBTQIA+ groups. These populations face barriers such as lower diagnosis rates, inadequate treatment, and poorer outcomes compared to their White, non-LGBTQIA+ counterparts. For instance, Latine patients use mental health care at half the rate of non-Hispanic White patients, and over half of LGBTQIA+ youth who need mental health care do not receive it. Addressing these barriers is critical for improving mental health equity. In the second activity of this CME Outfitters BriefCase series, expert faculty will explore strategies to enhance mental health care for underserved populations. Focus will be placed on understanding and mitigating the impact of social drivers of health (SDoH), integrating holistic treatment strategies, and employing team-based approaches. Learners will gain tools to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for racial, ethnic, and LGBTQIA+ groups, fostering equitable mental health care delivery.
