The development of the Interprofessional Leadership Institute for Mental Health Equity

The <em>Interprofessional Leadership Institute for Mental Health Equity</em> is being developed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to reduce mental health disparities by (1) engaging students in interprofessional service learning and research activities, (2) promoting integration of community-based strategies and social determinants of mental health conditions among underserved and vulnerable groups as required curricular components, (3) enhancing workforce diversity (in partnership with Racial/Ethnic Minority-Serving Colleges/Universities) by supporting students to obtain professional careers in mental health leadership, and (4) supporing current mental health providers, educators, and researchers who are working to mentor students in ways that address mental health inequities.
