NEW! CMS National Training Program Update

July 2024



National Training Program
July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

National Minority Mental Health Awareness month raises awareness of the challenges that affect the mental health of people in racial and ethnic minority groups.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is just as important as physical health throughout our lives. Mental health issues are common. Nearly 1 in 4 US adults live with a mental illness.

Mental health issues are treatable and often preventable. Medicare covers a wide range of behavioral health services, including inpatient, outpatient, and more. For example, Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers one depression screening per year to find out if symptoms of depression are present. To learn more about depression screening [ https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/depression-screening ] and the services and programs that Medicare covers, visit Medicare.gov/coverage/mental-health-substance-use-disorder [ https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/mental-health-substance-use-disorder ].

Did You Know?

July is the* Anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA)*. Enacted on July 26, 1990, the ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities based on race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to enjoy employment options, purchase goods and services, and participate in state and local government programs. CMS honors this observance by highlighting the unique health care challenges and barriers faced by those living with disabilities. Visit CMS.gov/priorities/health-equity/minority-health/resource-center/resource-center/health-observances [ https://www.cms.gov/priorities/health-equity/minority-health/resource-center/resource-center/health-observances ] to view resources.
