Ethnic Minority Affairs
Advocacy initiatives related to ethnic minorities encompass health and health care disparities, foster care, cultural and linguistic competence, American Indian/Alaska Native health services, diversity in the mental health profession, immigration and the use of genetic information.
Government relations efforts within these areas are based on what the science and practice of psychology demonstrates to be effective with these populations.
