In honor of BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to highlight the journey of Joel Swazo, a Los Angeles City College student who found his professional calling - to be a mental health care provider - through Brother Be Well’s “Into the Classroom” program. His story underscores the importance of culturally informed care and diverse representation in mental health. I’m proud to be a co-founder of Blue Shield of California BlueSky youth mental health initiative, which supports Brother Be Well and promotes health equity. Read more about Joel and the transformative work of Brother Be Well.
