A good thread summarizing needed changes in mental health. Access is key and we do need to expand models of care. A large majority of BIPOC folx in need do not receive care. We need to keep asking: how do we change what we do to fundamentally improve reach and equity?

Very enlightening exchange that points our a reason why we wind up with massive access inequalities. Maybe the pandemic can paradoxically help shift some of that?

Congrats to Laura Acosta on her recently funded F31 (NRSA) from NIH! She will study how discrimination affects help seeking for drug use. Well deserved and very exciting!!
