The Promoting Health Equity: Mental Health of Black Canadians initiative will focus on factors such as:
- Anti-Black racism;
- Promoting cultural diversity and well-being; and
- Support culturally-appropriate, effective and accessible mental health programs.
The federal health minister explains that black communities face unique challenges and systemic barriers to mental health programs. Sessions to be held next month will provide information about the program to community groups, organizations and researchers, who'll then be invited to apply for funding.
