mental health services, a disproportionate number of minority older persons are not fully benefiting from the opportunities that others have to enjoy their older years. The
major barriers include the cost of care, societal stigma, and
the fragmentation of services. Additional barriers include
healthcare providers’ lack of awareness of cultural issues,
bias, or inability to speak the older person’s language, and
the older person’s fear and mistrust of treatment”
