The American Psychiatric Foundation Awards for Advancing Minority Mental Health recognize psychiatrists, other health professionals, mental health programs, and other organizations that have undertaken innovative and supportive efforts to raise awareness of mental illness in underserved minority communities (including the need for early recognition, the availability of treatment and how to access it, and the cultural barriers to treatment), to increase access to quality mental health services for underserved minorities, or to improve the quality of care for underserved minorities, particularly those in the public health system or with severe mental illness.

Awards of $5,000 are given each year.

The Awards for Advancing Minority Mental Health brochure and application instructions are available at the APF Web site.
