Searching for Providers of Color
About the Program
The mental health treatment field is disproportionately white. What barriers do people of color face while trying to find care? And how important is it to find a provider that can identify with a person’s race, culture and experiences?
“Searching for Providers of Color” explores the BIPOC mental health provider workforce shortage and examines the impact on people of color looking for appropriate care.
Through in-depth interviews and reported stories – Call to Mind host Kimberly Adams guides this critical hour-long program to examine the barriers to diversify the mental health treatment field and how communities of color are getting the care they need.
Call to Mind’s specials explore an emerging area of understanding in mental health and aim to illustrate new knowledge to empower people to engage with in their well-being. All Call to Mind programs are produced with a focus on identity representation.
