Mental Health Inequities | Prof. Leo Cabassa | 48
We dive deep into the concerning reality of physical health for those struggling with mental illness. We explore the shocking reality of the mortality gap, where individuals with severe mental illnesses face a life expectancy 10-20 years shorter than the general population, and the inequities people of ethnic minority backgrounds face in the healthcare system.
Professor Leo Cabassa is a Social Worker & Co-Director of the Centre for Mental Health Services Research at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University. Leo has conducted research in the community for decades on health inequities in Ps w/SMI and from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. Check out.
