CLASP’s mental health work advances systems and policy change, with an explicit focus on how people’s race and ethnicity affect how they interact with the health system and receive services. We aim to look beyond the current system to reimagine what is possible to help communities of color thrive, recognizing the influence of intergenerational and cultural trauma on communities. As part of that effort, CLASP has supported U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto’s resolution to make July BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Mental Health Awareness Month.
Over the past couple weeks, we have released a series of briefs, Unlocking Transformation and Healing, that identifies policy options with broad applicability and strong potential to increase access to transformation and healing for economically marginalized young people. This series provides an overview of state and local policy options targeting community-based care, confidentiality, and cost.
