| Popis: | BACKGROUND Community-based mental health promotion programs for healthy people of color, without a diagnosed mental health condition are rare in public health literature. OBJECTIVES A statewide minority health agency led a 4-year partnership in Indiana with researchers, community-based minority health affiliates, and people of color to design, pilot, and evaluate a mental health promotion program. METHODS A participatory process was utilized to develop and test a group health promotion program designed with and for communities of color to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors for handling life stresses in a healthy way. Activities included capacity building, two implementation cycles, and mixed-methods evaluation. RESULTS The partnership revealed challenges and lessons learned such as recruiting skilled facilitators, effective communication about goals for cultural and linguistic appropriateness, maintaining fidelity, and realigning funding approaches for affiliates. CONCLUSIONS Next steps include revisions based on lessons learned, additional cultural and linguistic tailoring of the program, and offering statewide access. |
