Identify and describe two efforts used at the micro level to affect change for African Americans and mental health.
What will be an ideal response?
Many interventions are used at the micro/individual level for African Americans, but the ones that seem to have the most impact are those where informal sources such as family, friends, and church members are actively engaged. Others efforts involve the use of primary care clinics rather than stigmatized mental health clinics for individual care.One tool effective in this process is the problem-solving treatment model. This model focuses on the individual with emphasis on skill building and deepening of awareness.
