Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the barriers in accessing mental health services among the Latino population in Ventura County, California. The Latino population in the United States seeks mental health services at a lower rate. This is due to barriers in accessing the services they encountered. This study was done qualitatively by conducting nine focus groups with staff personnel of mental health providers.
