equity in mental health services

Equity in mental health services means ensuring that everyone has fair access to the support and care they need for their mental health, regardless of their background, income, or location. It involves identifying and addressing barriers that some groups may face, such as discrimination, lack of resources, or cultural differences. The goal is to provide tailored services that meet diverse needs, ensuring that all individuals can achieve optimal mental health and well-being. Equity is essential for creating a more inclusive healthcare system where everyone has a chance to thrive mentally and emotionally.
