A Virtual Conference

Join us to learn about the California Reducing Disparities Project (CRDP) -- a statewide 36 site mental health disparities demonstration project. A panel presentation will highlight five Community Defined Evidence-Based Practices (CDEPs) for the following communities: African American, Asian and Pacific Islanders, LGBTQ, Native Americans, and Latino/Latinx. Additionally, Dr. Cheryl Grills, the lead principal investigator for the CRDP project, will present the data and its implications. This work highlights the impact of CDEPs, and system change for these populations.

Questions that will be answered for the work you do to support and empower people seeking services:

• Are you curious about Community Defined Evidenced-Based Practices?
• Do you want to know how California Reducing Disparities Project recognizes and highlights community practices that are instrumental for system change?
