Resources and Reference Materials on Mental Health
Community Health Workers are well-situated to address mental health concerns in undeserved communities. They act as a bridge between affected individuals and available resources. Community Health Workers combat stigma by educating and conducting outreach on mental health within the community. They are an excellent addition to healthcare teams that want to improve the mental health outcomes of traditionally hard-to-reach communities. These resources provide information and tools to be used by Community Health Workers to address mental health in their own communities. All resources are available for free and licensed to be distributed for educational use.
