Mental Health Promotores de Salud Program Info
The National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) Institute for Hispanic Health (IHH), in partnership with Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, will design, develop, and implement a pilot community health education project to increase awareness and knowledge about depression. The one-year project, based in part on the Latino Mental Health Summit hosted by NCLR in February 2005, will assess the impact promotores de salud (lay health educators) can have on raising awareness of Latino communities of depression and assisting them in accessing appropriate treatment.
