SUMMARY:SAMHSA-Sponsored Webinar Equity in Mental Health and Substance Use Support: Overcoming Challenges to Access for Families
DESCRIPTION:National Federation of Families \nMental health and substance use challenges affect families across diverse geographic\, socio-economic\, and cultural demographics. Well-resourced families\, those in urban areas\, or families with substantial insurance coverage typically have more access to support for their loved ones than marginalized families\, those living in rural areas\, or those who are uninsured. When someone experiences a serious mental illness or emotional disturbance alongside a substance use challenge\, accessing quality support can become even more complex. \nRegister here>>
