Fear of judgment, cultural beliefs, generational differences, and lack of access to resources, often prevent people of color from addressing struggles openly and seeking the help they need. To overcome these barriers, it is essential to foster open and honest conversation about mental health. When people who live with a mental health condition share their stories, it can help others feel less alone and reduce shame.
At San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center, Inc., we are committed to making our services, as well as our hiring practices, accessible to all persons served in the community, including persons of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, and languages.
Maintaining a diverse staff that reflects our community is essential to providing culturally competent support to our clients. Understanding cultural differences leads to better outcomes. Without that, stigma may not be addressed, misdiagnoses can occur, and language differences can become obstacles to care.
