National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to bring awareness to the unique struggles racial and ethnic minority populations face regarding mental illness in the United States. This year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) will focus on promoting tools and resources addressing the stigma surrounding mental health in racial and ethnic minority communities, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, go to www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/minority-mental-health/index.html.
From Office of Minority Health email, July 6, 2021.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announced $1 million in federal Mental Health Block Grant funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) to expand Outpatient Competency Restoration (OCR) services for Texans with mental health and substance use disorders living in mostly rural communities. Outpatient competency restoration services are for defendants who have been found incompetent to stand trial due to their mental illness. They are provided mental health and substance use treatment services in a community setting, as well as legal education so they can face their charges in court.
