The American Psychiatric Association's Minority Fellowship Program (APA MFP) endeavors to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in access, quality and outcomes of mental health and substance abuse care by increasing the supply of minority psychiatrists and providing psychiatry residents and medical students interested in servicing minority populations with advanced training in leadership, culturally competent care and evidence-based medicine. The lack of trained minority professionals has been cited as a major cause of lack of access to appropriate mental health and substance abuse services in minority communities. Many minority patients are at a disadvantage because of the small number of psychiatrists with training in and knowledge of cultural and ethnic diversity and its impact on treatment. With this project, the APA MFP will increase clinical and leadership training support to minority psychiatric residents and to recruit more minority medical students into psychiatry. Project activities include selecting outstanding ethnic minority psychiatry residents and medical students to participate in a leadership development program and. providing advanced training to psychiatry residents in culturally competent treatment and evidence-based medicine.

Program: TCE-Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Older Adults	SM56906
Congressional District: VA-08
FY 2006 Funding: $400,000
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
This project will significantly increase access to mental health service for approximately 3,000 Vietnamese elders in Northern Virginia, including some 1,000 torture survivors and their spouses. Boat People SOS (BPSOS) will acquire the capacity to offer three modalities of service: home-based care, peer support groups, and clinical counseling. Through BPSOS medical interpreters, clients will also be able to access services at public mental health centers. Due to historical reasons and U. S. refugee resettlement patterns, Northern Virginia is home to a disproportionately large number of torture survivors, who arguably make up the most neurologically impaired group of refugees ever resettled to this country. Despite documented mental health need, few of these torture survivors, and older Vietnamese in general, have been able to access mental health care because of the serious lack of linguistically and culturally appropriate services-there is only one Vietnamese-speaking therapist in the entire public mental health system in Northern Virginia. We propose the following three-pronged strategy to address this disparity problem (1) Increase language capacity for Fairfax County Community Services Board (CSB) to treat older Vietnamese with acute mental illness; (2) Build capacity for BPSOS to provide evaluation and counseling; (3) Build capacity for the local community to provide wrap-around services: a. Family members providing home-based care and support to elders; b. Peer support groups providing mutual assistance; and c. Community-based and faith-based organizations conducting outreach, recruiting participants, and assisting the peer support groups.
