Join us on Wednesday, July 24 at 8:30 a.m. EDT for Mind the Gap: The Cost of Mental Health Disparities, a live discussion hosted by The Hill and sponsored by Otsuka. One in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness, yet access to treatment remains a challenge. This is especially true for lower-income individuals and minority populations who bear a disproportionate burden of both mental health and chronic conditions. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Non-Hispanic White adults (52%) are more than twice as likely to receive treatment for a mental illness compared to Asian Americans (25%). Those numbers increase modestly among the Hispanic or Latino (36%) and Black or African American (39%). What barriers prevent racial and ethnic minority groups, as well as other marginalized, rural, and under-resourced populations, from accessing treatment? What are the unique mental health needs of racially and ethnically diverse communities? What is the economic cost of not investing in mental health services, treatments, and programs? How can we change the conversation around minority mental health to reduce stigma and encourage more integrated, equitable care? In honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, the Hill will bring together lawmakers, mental health experts and advocates to discuss these questions and more as they discuss the findings of the Meharry School of Global Health’s 2024 study, “The Projected Costs and Economic Impact of Mental Health Inequities in the United States.” Register for the event: https://bit.ly/4bzELN9 https://bit.ly/4fecBdU
