Latino/a/x Project - Peers Envisioning and Engaging in Recovery Services (PEERS)

the Everyone Counts Campaign will be focusing on the Latino/a/x community. We will be making efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination within our communities and creating cultural inclusiveness. Stigma is often a barrier for people to seek treatment and share their experiences. For this reason, the Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services Everyone Counts Campaign through PEERS focuses on the strengths and wellness of people.

In the Latino community there are many barriers to care for example the stigma associated with mental health problems. The fear of admitting to having a mental health issue because it can be seen as sign of weakness. Also the lack of knowledge and awareness about the mental health system because of things like language barriers. According to research from SAMHSA Latino adults with a mental health challenge are 34% less likely to receive treatment.
