## Summary

**Addressing mental health disparities facing Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.** This resolution would spotlight high rates of mental illness, suicide, and treatment gaps in minority communities and urge tailored access, culturally competent care, and more resources. - Families and pregnant parents: Would push for more prenatal and postpartum screening and treatment for minority parents, where over half of pregnant minority individuals do not receive care. - Youth: Would target rising suicide risk and underdiagnosis among minority youth, noting that 1 in 5 Black high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in 2021. - Mental health workforce and access: Would call for culturally specific services and a more diverse workforce because minority providers account for less than one-fifth of the profession and language and insurance barriers limit care. - Tribes and territories: Would seek resources and funding that include U.S. territories and federally recognized Tribes to address disproportionate insurance gaps facing Native and Indigenous people.
