Full Description
By focusing on effective communication strategies and leveraging cutting-edge research, this book offers meaningful progress toward improving mental health outcomes for everyone, with a special emphasis on underserved populations.
Health communication research constitutes a significant intervention to the study of mental health, especially when considering underserved and marginalized demographics. Contributors to this volume identify and address critical barriers often faced when accessing mental health information and care, including stigma, lack of resources, and cultural differences, among myriad other individual and societal obstacles.
By exposing and critically analyzing these issues, the book recommends future directions for the design of effective mental health communication campaigns, emphasizing the importance of strategic information diffusion and urgency in order to improve mental health literacy. Contributors then offer policy recommendations and advocacy initiatives designed to improve mental health services for underserved populations and communities, ultimately increasing both the inclusivity and overall efficacy of the mental healthcare system.
