Hispanics in Northeast Florida experience disproportionate barriers to accessing high-quality, patient-centered mental health care due to a number of factors including language discordance, organizational cultural competency, inefficient care processes, and perceived discrimination. Community Behavioral Health Organizations Serving Latinos (CBHOSLs) in this region would benefit from additional support and capacity-building efforts to improve their delivery of culturally relevant care and diminish risk for burnout.
