Mental Health within the Hispanic Community
September 15 – October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month! This annual observance is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements, histories, traditions, diversity, and vibrant culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans.
This year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) is observing National Hispanic Heritage Month through its theme, Be the Source for Better Health: Improving Health Outcomes Through Our Cultures, Communities, and Connections. This theme calls on each of us to better understand how the unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances (known as social determinants of health, or “SDOH”) of Hispanic/Latino populations impact their overall health.
