AACAP's Position on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (November 12, 2024)

Joint Statement on Improving Health through DEI from Leading Health Care and Medical Associations (March 27, 2024)

• Seven leading healthcare organizations have released a joint position statement encouraging racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in all areas of healthcare, including regulatory boards, the workforce, education, and patient care. Ensuring DEI among healthcare leadership is key to enhancing professional opportunities and health outcomes for people of all backgrounds. Leaders and practitioners must understand the issues that affect the population they serve in order to effectively serve them.

About

The United States and its ever-changing cultural landscape shape the way we experience diversity. Cultural values and beliefs not only affect our daily activities and functions, but also influence the way we perceive physical and emotional distress and interventions to deal with them. Mental illness is perceived differently by various cultures, as is the ability to express certain symptoms. Some cultures have stigmatized mental illness, making it difficult for families and individuals to seek resources and interventions commonly used in western societies. Due to this, some cultures rely on alternative interventions in treating common mental health disorders. Emotional distress and mental health problems occur in all socio-cultural backgrounds. This information is intended to raise awareness of diversity issues and to assist a clinician with integrating them into their practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is diversity and culture?
2. Why is diversity and culture important?
3. How do a family's culture and values affect their child's mental health?
4. How does a mental health professionals' culture and value system affect a child's treatment?

AACAP Caucuses

AACAP’s Caucus groups provide a forum for AACAP members within their own racial/ethnic groups to network and collaborate on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-focused initiatives. Activities include providing affinity-based mentorship, convening in safe spaces to discuss identity-focused challenges specific to their workplaces and communities, and work on programming, advocacy activities, and publications to highlight topics of shared interest within the cohorts. There are four AACAP Caucuses: Asian Caucus; Black Caucus; Hispanic/Latinx Caucus; International Medical Graduate Caucus. These groups meet at varying times throughout the year. If you wish to receive notifications of upcoming Caucus events, share your information via the Diversity and Culture Committee Special Interest Group Sign-up form.

Training and Education

Diversity and Culture Curriculum 

Developed by the Diversity and Cultural Committee, this curriculum was designed for training Child & Adolescent Psychiatric trainees in Diversity and Cultural Competency. Such training is considered essential as our patient population will continue to be diverse. Providing a framework for training programs as well as well as assessing the trainee’s progress is necessary. The proposed curriculum will guide training directors and faculty, so they may develop an individualized curriculum for their programs while adhering to the ACGME required milestones. The curriculum includes core requirements for all trainees and elective modules that training directors can tailor based on populations that they serve.
