Conducting research on the adverse health effects, both individual and community-wide, associated with trauma related to violence committed by law enforcement against racial and ethnic minorities. 2. Providing grants to eligible community-based programs and organizations to establish or expand programs that increase racial and ethnic minority access to high-quality trauma support services and mental health care, including culturally competent and evidence-based services. 3. Developing and implementing an outreach and education strategy to promote behavioral and mental health and reduce stigma associated with mental health conditions among racial and ethnic minorities. The goal is to take a comprehensive public health approach to address the disproportionate burden of trauma and mental health issues faced by racial and ethnic minorities due to their experiences with law enforcement.
