Research shows that ethnically diverse groups are underrepresented in treatment. Factors such as disparities and stigma prevent them from accessing mental health services. However, little is understood about how attitude affects engagement. Workshop attendees will (a) learn current literature on participation of African Americans and Latinos in mental health settings, (b) learn how attitudes and stigma uniquely contribute to engagement, and (c) recommend strategies for recruitment and retention.
