By focusing on effective communication strategies and leveraging cutting-edge research, Mental Health Communication for Underserved Populations makes meaningful progress toward improving mental health outcomes for everyone, with a particular emphasis on underserved populations.

Health communication research offers a critical lens for examining mental health, especially in relation to marginalized populations. Contributors to this volume identify and critically analyze key individual and societal barriers many often face when seeking mental health information and care-including stigma, lack of resources, and cultural differences, among others-and provide informed recommendations for future research as well as for the design of inclusive and effective mental health communication campaigns.
