FOX 61HARTFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut Paid Leave Program issued a reminder Thursday that paid leave benefits may be available to Hispanic workers seeking care for a serious mental health condition.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health reports that Hispanic adults were 60% less likely to have received mental health treatment in 2023 than non-Hispanic white adults.
CT Paid Leave benefits are designed to remove obstacles to care by making it possible for these workers to seek professional help without having to risk or lose their income.
