The Covid-19 pandemic exposed and amplified many problems in political and healthcare systems around the world, and the United States has been no exception. One such issue is racial injustice, including its impact as a social determinant of health and its manifestation in disparities in healthcare access - including behavioral healthcare. This paper examines this problem in detail and highlights the work of the Center for Practice Innovations. This intermediary organization provides training and implementation support to behavioral healthcare organizations across New York State. This work includes changes and awareness building related to racial injustice within its organization that will drive changes in training and supports provided to behavioral healthcare organizations across New York State.

La pandemia di Covid-19 ha portato alla luce e amplificato molti problemi nei sistemi politici e sanitari in tutto il mondo, e gli Stati Uniti non hanno fatto eccezione. Uno di questi problemi è lʼingiustizia razziale, compreso il suo impatto come determinante sociale della salute e la sua manifestazione nelle disparità di accesso allʼassistenza sanitaria - compresi i servizi di salute comportamentale. Questo documento esamina il problema nel dettaglio e evidenzia il lavoro del Center for Practice Innovations. Questa organizzazione intermediaria fornisce formazione e supporto nellʼimplementazione alle organizzazioni di assistenza sanitaria comportamentale in tutto lo Stato di New York. Questo lavoro include i cambiamenti e il consolidamento della consapevolezza relativi allʼingiustizia razziale allʼinterno della sua organizzazione, che guideranno i cambiamenti nella formazione e nei supporti forniti alle organizzazioni e servizi di salute comportamentale in tutto lo Stato di New York. .
