Radio One Charlotte is committed to promoting community voices and providing support and resources in the mental and behavioral health sector, as it is one of our key corporate objectives. In partnership with the Mecklenburg County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, we will address prevalent challenges and offer solutions with insights from professionals and organizations providing vital information and services each month.
For October, our focus is on Barriers to Treatment. Our partners, The C.W. Williams Community Health Center, Inc. and Carolinas CARE, offer quality, affordable healthcare to residents in Mecklenburg and North Carolina. Both agencies work to break barriers and build relationships, providing access to funding support, available care, treatment, and long-term services for the uninsured and underinsured. There is a crucial need for Mental Healthcare in our communities. The barriers and stigmas we currently face are not new, and the social determinants of mental health affect individual emotional and psychiatric well-being.
