Low mental health service utilization among vulnerable groups with mental health needs has been an ongoing public health concern. Guided by the Gateway Provider Model, this study focuses on public housing employees, a unique gateway provider group, who are within close proximity with public housing residents, a vulnerable group who may experience more psychological distress and mental illness. The present study examined the relationships of mental health literacy, stigma, attitude toward mental health treatment, exposure to mental health treatment, and training to confidence among public housing employees (N = 193) in helping someone with mental illness. Findings show that confidence is associated with mental health literacy and training, yet no relationship between confidence and stigma, and confidence and previous exposure to mental health treatment were found. The findings emphasize the importance of mental health literacy and training of gateway providers as a possible way to promote mental health in the community
