Cultural Competence Standards in Managed Care Mental Health Services: Four Underserved/Underrepresented Racial/Ethnic Groups

摘要

Cultural Competence Standards in Managed Care Mental Health Services: Four Underserved/Underrepresented Racial/Ethnic Groups is designed to provide readers with the tools and knowledge to help guide the provision of culturally competent mental health services within today's managed care environment. While not necessarily representing the specific views of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration or the Center for Mental Health Services, this document melds the best thinking of expert panels of consumers, mental health service providers, and academic clinicians from across the four core racial/ethnic populations: Hispanics, American Indians/Alaska Natives, African Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Developed for States, consumers, mental health service providers, educators, and organizations providing managed behavioral health care, the volume provides state-of-the-science cultural competence principles and standards - building blocks to create, implement and maintain culturally competent mental health service networks for our diverse population.
