I’m one of a handful of bilingual clinicians at my clinic. Beyond the difficulty of accessing individual care, access to mental health groups & classes, which are readily available in English, is incredibly difficult or simply unavailable for my Spanish-speaking patients.

#Kaiser is breaking #California State law by making patients wait months for mental health therapy. It's time for @kpthrive to put patients over profits. More than 2,000 of us stand united & strong demanding our communities get the care they need, when they need it.#kaiserstrike

California’s Kaiser strike is a symptom of America’s failing mental health care system
Our nation’s mental health depends on big changes in how care is provided.
The @CADMHC encourages those experiencing delayed/denied/cancelled #mentalhealth care at @kpthrive or @kpNorCal to report it by calling their help line: 1-888-466-2219 or submit a complaint on their website: dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint… #kaisercrisis
