This study, called "Overcoming Obstacles," aims to connect Latino/a individuals with mental health services. It tests two different educational programs. One program, "Overcoming Life's Hurdles: Mental health education," teaches about mental health literacy, coping skills, and reducing stigma. The other program, "Overcoming Life's Hurdles: Resources in the community," focuses on community resources, employment, housing, and immigration. The goal is to improve understanding of mental health, reduce stigma, and encourage people to seek help before a crisis. You can join if you are 18-65 years old, identify as Hispanic and/or Latino/a, speak English or Spanish, and live in specific California zip codes. The study will measure changes in attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help after six months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
