Systemic racism, social marginalization, and oppression have created disproportionate challenges in accessing quality general health care, mental health care, and substance use treatment services for communities of color. Integrating these services is a critical strategy for advancing health equity among historically marginalized populations, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ communities, and rural communities.

The Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions (CoE-IHS) is pleased to announce the Advancing Health Equity Through Integrated Health ECHO.

Kicking off in late November, this seven-session ECHO series will give participants the chance to engage with other health care provider organizations through didactic presentations and case presentations on key issues related to integrated health and improving health equity within their organizations.

This ECHO will help participants:

  • Practice cultural humility and actively reduce biases, racism, and trauma.
  • Promote cultural and linguistic responsiveness among clients and staff of various intersecting identities, including race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
  • Implement whole-person and population health strategies that consider the social determinants/drivers of health of clients and communities.
  • Build organizational practices that identify and prevent compassion fatigue among clinical providers and staff as they work to enhance equitable health care for all

Applications are due by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, November 10, 2023.

*Space in this ECHO learning series is limited.

Black and African American (B/AA) communities, especially those in rural areas, are often overlooked in discussions about improving mental health and substance use treatment services. There is a growing need for provider organizations to enhance the quality of care for B/AA individuals.

Join us for a powerful roundtable discussion about the impact of social justice concerns, COVID-19, and challenges of providing care in rural communities. As we build on the discoveries from previous focus groups, this event will amplify conversations regarding workforce shortages, accessible technology, and funding limitations, while highlighting solutions and provider recommendations to address these disparities.

This event is sponsored by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the Morehouse School of Medicine’s African American Behavioral Health Center of Excellence. Victor Armstrong, MSW, national director of Soul Shop for Black Churches, will moderate the discussion with panelist representatives from:

  • Bootheel Counseling Services — Sikeston, Mo.
  • Georgia Pines Community Service Board — Thomasville, Ga.
  • NC Counts Coalition — Raleigh, N.C.

By attending the session, you will be able to:

  1. Discuss the current health care disparities of B/AA populations in rural areas;
  2. Increase your awareness of challenges regarding access, engagement, recruitment, retention, and outcomes for mental health and substance use care providers in rural areas; and
  3. Identify solutions and strategies for supporting community partnerships to reduce disparities.
