Pathways to care include a combination of positive and negative experiences that shape attitudes toward mental health services, and treatment outcomes and engagement in coordinated specialty care (CSC). Historically underserved, racially and ethnically diverse communities experience adverse pathways to CSC. Given some of the unique challenges that racially and ethnically diverse communities face, this webinar will take a deeper dive into understanding these experiences. We will explore relevant literature that highlights the experiences prior to CSC among racially and ethnically diverse families in the US and present findings on the impact of these prior experiences on treatment.
