description <p dir="ltr">Language and communication play a critical yet often overlooked role in shaping mental health outcomes, particularly among ethnically diverse young populations. This letter explores the complex relationship between language, communication, and mental health equity in children and adolescents in multicultural contexts, such as those prevalent in the Gulf countries. It highlights the impact of language-related disparities on the utilization of mental health care services. Drawing from recent research, this letter underscores the urgent need for strategies to bridge these gaps, promote inclusivity, and ensure equal access to mental health services. It also suggests potential directions for future research to better comprehend and address these challenges.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Qatar Journal of Public Health<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5339/qjph.2025.9" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.5339/qjph.2025.9</a></p>
