Steering Committee

The steering committee members of the Hispanic/Latino Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (H/LBH CoE) offer guidance and expertise to ensure the mission and goals of the Center effectively meet the behavioral health needs of the diverse Hispanic and Latine populations. Through close collaboration with the H/LBH CoE team, the steering committee plays a vital role in identifying emerging issues and staying abreast of community driven and evidence-based best practices in mental health promotion, prevention, treatment, and recovery from both mental health and substance use disorders (SUD).
