Compiled by the Department’s Office of Race, Equity, and Inclusion with assistance from the DMH regional areas, this resource directory has been continually updated since its first publication in 1989. The goal of this directory is to increase access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care and thereby support the elimination of health disparities.
This directory contains information about organizations in Massachusetts that offer culturally and linguistically appropriate services for communities of color, LGBTQ community, deaf and hard of hearing community, immigrants, and refugees. We hope this directory will be utilized as a starting point in familiarizing users with available local and statewide resources.

This resource sheet contains service providers that offer behavioral services in other languages besides English. We hope that these resources will help officers connect people with mental health care that is culturally inclusive.
