Mental Health Equity is the first comprehensive textbook to explore the drivers of mental health inequities in the United States and the innovative strategies being used to advance equity through programs and policies. Ideal for students in public health, mental health, health policy, social work, medicine, allied health, and psychology, this groundbreaking text takes a holistic, ecological approach to addressing historically overlooked public health challenges, empowering learners to understand and combat mental health disparities.


The book examines the historical and structural conditions influencing public mental health, including the impacts of racism, redlining, and policy development. Further, it investigates the diverse determinants of mental health equity-social, economic, environmental, biological, and political-highlighting their interconnected roles in perpetuating inequities. It also explores the role that the compounding effects of intersectionality play, the importance of actionable frameworks, state and federal policy initiatives, and payment strategies are for advancing mental health equity. Integrating theory with practice, offering innovative models, global perspectives, and practical tools for community engagement and systemic transformation, Mental Health Equity provides a detailed call to action. This inspiring book is for compassionate leaders, clinicians, policymakers, and advocates who support population health and who strive to counter the persistent inequities affecting millions of Americans.
