Summary

This trial will test a church-based intervention to reduce stigma and improve access to mental health services for Latinos in LA and Riverside Counties.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for members of selected Latino churches in Los Angeles and Riverside Counties. It's designed to help those within the congregations who might be dealing with social stigma or issues related to seeking mental health treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests a church-based program using NAMI Mental Health 101 and NAMI FaithNet resources. The goal is to see if these interventions can reduce stigma, boost understanding of mental health, and improve access to care among Latinos.
