The Child Mind Institute has founded several programs that increase mental health equity worldwide by fostering the next generation of mental healthcare professionals. The program’s goal is to increase representation in the mental health field amongst groups who have historically lacked access to mental health care services — including young people of color, LGBTQIA+ youth, and those who have experienced foster care, the juvenile justice system, homelessness, or poverty. It also aims to cultivate a future generation of diverse and culturally sensitive mental health care providers.
