Short Abstract:
There has been extensive research on behavioral health disparities in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Plus (LGBTQ+) communities. Now, the national movement for racial justice also aims to do the same for Californians.
This concept paper is an attempt to outline policy opportunities and approaches for greater valuation and acceptance of the behavioral health practices BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities have used for many years to support their behavioral health and wellbeing.
The changes recommended in this paper fall under the jurisdiction of various state authorities, agencies, and local communities.
