Through funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, our Center of Excellence is established to advance the behavioral health of H/L communities through the development and dissemination of behavioral health information, provision of training and technical assistance and directed support to expand the behavioral health workforce.
We serve as a resource for mental health and substance use providers, primary care providers, community-based and faith-based organizations, research institutions, Hispanic and Latino-Serving Institutions (HSIs) of higher education, peer and recovery support service providers, as well as state, regional, local, and federal entities. Our outreach also encompasses the general public, including H/L individuals, families, and communities, as well as persons with lived experiences.
Our mission is to advance and support the sustainability of behavioral health by promoting community-grounded, and person-centered prevention, treatment, multiple pathways of recovery, and recovery support for Hispanic and Latino communities.
